Rudd’s T-shirt pitch
While Dr Mumbo is glad that user generated content brand contests finally seem to be going out of fashion, this one might just be of interest for designers who want to get their work seen.
Remember the Kevin 07 T-shirts?
The former PM is running a competition to design a T-shirt for his relection battle for his local seat.
He writes on Facebook:
DESIGN MY LOCAL CAMPAIGN T-SHIRT
As you probably know – I am pretty dedicated to good fashion.
But when it comes to campaign election t-shirts, they can be a little… boring.
So it is over to you. If you can come up with a better design – I’ll use it.
The rules are simple: the t-shirt has to say “Kevin Rudd”, the shirt will be white, and I get to pick the winner.
If you have a design – email it to KRuddTShirt@gmail.com – get them in by 9 November 2012.
There’s no prize – apart from my never-ending appreciation and the satisfaction that there will be 100’s of people wearing your design. (more detail available here http://www.kevinruddmp.com/2012/10/design-krudd-tshirt.html )
Looking forward to seeing what the creative people of Griffith (and across Australia) have to offer.
Kevin
Dr Mumbo looks forward to watching the results.

“the t-shirt has to say Kevin Rudd”
Kevin 07 t shirt didn’t say Kevin Rudd. That’s one of the reasons it worked: hugely colloquial.
bloody mandatories in briefs…

What an excellent move by Kevin’s PR team!

I wonder how many entries he’ll get that aren’t that supportive of his campaign?!

Perhaps a design incorporating a large knife slash in the back?

Getting graphic design for free isn’t clever PR. It’s just another “free pitch” masquerading itself as a “competition”. Perhaps PR and advertising agencies should enter a competition to “win” his PR and advertising account too?

Maybe the design could include somewhere “I SAY NO TO FREE PITCHING”.
Especially when there’s not even a prize!
