Ogilvy hunts ‘World’s Greatest Salesperson’

From best job, to ultimate job, to greatest job and now greatest salesperson.

Yep and this time it’s an ad agency getting in on the action.

The brief? Sell a brick. That’s right, a brick.  

Ogilvy’s global hunt – which is also open to Australian applicants – will see finalists flown to the Cannes International Advertising Festival to pitch their ideas on stage in front of ad execs.

Whoever is dubbed the World’s Greatest Salesperson will then be given a three-month fellowship at OgilvyOne – part of the Ogilvy group which focuses on direct, digital, promotion and relationship marketing.

Not daunting at all is it? Pitch your idea to the best of the best from around the world and if that isn’t enough, the product you’re trying to flog is a brick.

Dr Mumbo thinks he’d rather stick to selling the tropical waters of the Great Barrier Reef.
