We’ve all seen a gimmicky resume/portfolio come across our desks at one point. Hell, his isn’t the first alien themed portfolio I’ve seen. Or even the first persona built around a last name. My point is, this isn’t an out-of-the-box approach to advertising or grabbing agency’s attention. New/rising ad folks: We’ve done this already and we did it with grace. You want to enter the ad world? Know where the people hiring you raised the bar to when they were in your shoes, and at least meet us there.

It’s not a gimmick when it’s a way of life. It’s also discrimination.

So I ask you, people of advertising, “Y’all hiring any aliens” 👽

I’m begging, pleading with you to outline a single way in which this constitutes legitimate discrimination. In detail. Please.
