Welcome To Marcusland …

By Robert

Marcus Brown is a bloody top guy. 

Sure he’s got big eyes, crazy hair and an unnatural love for ‘Hello Kitty’ … plus he lives in Krautland … but he is incredibly smart, gotexperience, knows all about web 2.0 and is very much intune with people, brands and creativity.

He’s been talking to a bunch of advertising types for a while and yet, for some reason, no agency has snapped him up.

Is it because he originates from Southampton?  Is it because of the iPOD Singing?  Is it because he doesn’t avoid asking the hard questions?  Is it because he doesn’t have friends called Tarquin?

WELL SURELY THAT’S EXACTLY WHY YOU SHOULD HIRE HIM!

Anyway we decided to create this on-line petition in the hope that certain people in Adland will see many others think he is a smart guy … and maybe, just maybe, give him a chance to blossom and shine in their organisation.

He knows nothing about this … and is probably mortified about it … but we don’t care, we need the karma points, so come on … sign up to get him signed up!

Oh, and if you wonder why the people behind this site don’t give him a gig … it’s because we’re not in Krautland and we have enough iPOD singers in our place already!

    He is a lot smarter than he looks, though he does somewhat resemble a boffin so that can only be a good thing can’t it?

    Marcus is gifted and it says bundles about advertising that somebody hasn’t snapped him up yet. I’m hoping I get a chance to work with him one day.

  25. lauren Says:

  39. Angus Says:

    Hiring Marcus would be like dipping your company’s balls in chili powder.

    Look at it this way, either you can hire him, or, your competitor might…then you’re screwed… so meet him, today!

    Betrachten Sie es auf diese Weise, entweder Sie können ihn anstellen, oder, Ihr Konkurrent konnte… dann Sie werden geschraubt…, also treffen Sie ihn, heute!

  45. Rachel Says:

    Here’s another vote for Marcus! Good luck.

  46. Gavin Heaton Says:

    I always vote for Marcus. But does he really want to work in an agency? It could be the death of that agency. Or its rebirth. Either way its going to hurt — and that can’t be a bad thing.

  47. peggy Says:

    marcus is a very intelligent and very creative man. he has done more great online things than any brand or person i know. but it is not just online what he is absolutely great at. he should be assailed with job offers! he is not just talking about things. he passionately realises them!
    on top of that, he is a sound and nice guy.
    of course, he will get his dream job.

  48. Wal Says:

    Yaaa, Marcus!
