My older sister and partner in crime (well, I do the crime. she’s there for her looks) is spending the summer in the Ozarks. That’s right, Arkansas. Halfway through her MBA program, Ashley landed herself an internship at Walmart and in these short summer months has turned me from Walmart skeptic to fan. I’m not as easily swayed as you may think but she pointed me to Walmarts agency of record, The Martin Agency, to watch some of their advertisements. Soon I was seeing Walmart everywhere and even conceded to making a Walmart (not Target) run.
But just as my love for Walmart grew, I too began an agency crush on The Martin Agency. Their Walmart commercials have a perfect balance between sentiment and humor like this past Christmas’ collection.
But what really captured my heart was when I found out they they are behind the FreeCreditReport.com commercials. I love those commercials. They are quirky and catchy but most of all when they get stuck in my head, I’m not annoyed!
If you have some minutes, look at their website. They are endearing and entertaining.
We want to fill our building to the brim with the most talented people in the industry, and we are always looking to meet experienced, senior-level professionals in all disciplines. And it goes without saying (but we’ll say it anyway) that attracting interactive specialists is one of our highest priorities.
You don’t need to have a degree in advertising. You don’t need an MBA or PhD. You don’t need to tell us that you were editor of your high school yearbook in 1994 (but by all means let us know if you were voted “Most Likely to Succeed” or “Best Looking”).
You do need curiosity and energy. Dedication and integrity. Enthusiasm. Originality. And a big healthy serving of joy.
We want you because your unique background and perspective allow you to speak to the broad audiences we reach. We want you because you listen to the challenges of clients and coworkers and instinctively become part of the solution. We want you because you are intelligent, inspiring, and refreshing.
And it wouldn’t hurt to get some fresh talent on the agency dodgeball team, so if you’re especially scrappy or have a great arm, make sure to include that too.
Can’t wait to meet you.
Crush on, my friends, crush on.
