Cool Marketing Thoughts

I received an e-mail from the interim agency I used to work for a few years ago, before I went back to school to get a degree. I didn’t quite expect it because it’s been a while since I heard from them, but apparently they’ve started an extended campaign to search for new dynamic people to fill in some job spots. At first sight it looked like a dull regular e-mail, but I clicked through and ended up on a damn funny website called importantexport.be. On that site Peter Van Den Begin, one of my favorite Flemish actors was totally going wild in a character role that really fits him quite well: the deranged crook/lunatic business man. The site itself is in Flemish/French but I must say the French version doesn’t have half the charisma of the Flemish one.

On the site you have to answer 5 simple questions, which are part of your job interview at the ‘important export’ company. The questions aren’t the main reason for this project though. The meaning of this site is infotaining. Unique Interim wants you to be aware of the fact that a lot of promises (like 200K a year) aren’t always what they seem to be, and that finding out too late about the general terms and conditions of a certain job might not always be the most pleasant experience of your career. Don’t know which agency did this, but The agency behind it is The Parking Lot and it’s quite good.
