I’ma tell ya what I did, I emailed their recruiter, and showed them my book. And man, what happened next was something that I never saw anywhere. The recruiter sent my book to, you are not going to believe this, the creative director.
Yes. Creative Director. At Wieden. Crazy right?
Anyways, he saw my portfolio, which is a collection of stuff you did. And then he told me to wait for a phone call, I got the phone call and they asked me how much I wanna to make, like they were actually going to pay me to work there. Crazy stuff.
Anyway I told them that I wanted a million dollars but I could be convinced for less, and they offer me 120k instead, and I was like ok. i’d do it for free anyways. And yeah. That’s how it happened.
I have enjoyed this whole thread and want to thank you both for showing up today. 👌
11. Walk in with your resume and ask to speak to their manager. Remember to use a firm handshake!
11b. Then challenge the manager to a duel . . . of wits!
If W+K is looking for an average writer with a small personality and mumbles things under their breath with low confidence, little charisma, and outdated style, HMU.
Legally change your name to “+” and walk into the agency like you own the place. Cuz you kinda do.
If anyone from W+K reads this I promise there’s more where that came from, and my copywriter and I are pretty funny. ;)
5. Change your name to the name of a person who works there, and then become their understudy.
6. Open a pie shop in the bird nest.
7. Land a helicopter on the roof and then hand deliver a portfolio that’s, like, really great.
8. Start in the mail room
9. Put Nike, the goddess, as your reference
10. Bring a few people with oboes to trumpet your entrance and then show up with CHARISMA!

Does getting a tattoo of the agency logo or sending them a rap video no longer work?
Yes, but you must get a tattoo of the updated logo they will adopt upon hiring you.

You can also hack the W+K email server, login as Lauren Ranke, then email all the CDs in Portland and offices across the world your book with a nice note (cc’ing yourself) then discreetly log back out and go about your day.
