AIN’T TOO PROUD TO BEG

We got the following e-mail today in the wake of the recent Julie Roehm/Wal-Mart brouhaha. Sometimes, a little brutal honesty can be refreshing:

“CONSIDER HIRING US AND WE PROMISE TO DELIVER AT LEAST ONE OF THE FOLLOWING GIFTS/GRATUITIES*:

• Dinner at Nobu, featuring its Omakase six course tasting menu, PLUS all the kiwi fruit and kumquat martinis you can drink (lap-sitting not necessarily included/available at your discretion)

• A ride in our Porsche

• A trip to our Italian villa.

We’re The Ad Store. While we’re nothing if not ethical, we have had some pretty good times with our clients over the last 13 years. And along the way we’ve created memorable work for brands like JetBlue Airways, GoDaddy, mike’s hard lemonade and Zappos.com.

*Some legal restrictions may apply. Some company restrictions may apply. Check the ethics policy of your individual company or a lawyer for full details. We disclose in advance that we are willingly attempting to influence your decision and encouraging you to hire The Ad Store. Some additional fees may apply. Any similarity to actual events is purely intentional.”

Nicely done. More sarcasm and truth is available at their site, adstore.com/swag.

Hey what's wrong with a little honesty... But if these guys are serious they would:
a) Give free dining at NoBu for as long as they have the account.
b) Buy them a Porsche.
c) Give them the villa and stock it with hookers, booze and dope.
d) ten percent of revenue kicked back to the "Change Agent's" Swiss bank account.
Shit, you'd have these fuckers breaking down the door to give you business... Guaranteed.
