GOVERNMENT - Burnett Pays U.S. Army $15.5 Mil. to Settle Lawsuit

It seems there was a mistake made when it came to billing the US ARMY for work done on their website between the agency and through whom the website was developed. Evidently the over-billing error was brought to the Army's attention but no action was ever taken on the error until now. 12.1 million will be returned in cash while 3.4 million will be credited to the account for work that was never billed for.

The agency was sued for overcharging for the web development and filing false claims.

PRINT - Client Services and Copywriters needed for www.mbrworldwide.com

These are a few more advertising and marketing agency recruitment ads.

This is for the agency: http://www.mbrworldwide.com/.

The ads really tailor themselves to humor within their specific job need.

If you were hiring for engineers, talk with them and find out what day to day things pop up and how you might be able to put some of their humor into your ads. What do your RNs encounter daily that are part of the job? Finding a slice of life that people can relate to can really jump into creating a connection with your intended targets. If general job seekers don't get the joke? They aren't supposed to and you can divert your focus to those that are real potential employees.

PRINT - Pivana Dubai Copywriter

Here is a different approach for a copywriting ad from Pivana Dubai. The simple design helps the small amount of copy hold quite a bit of weight. I will post another copywriter posting tomorrow.

PRINT - Creative JWT Art Director and Account Handler in Alternative Display Ad Layout

In an effort to grab eyes with a non-traditional help wanted ad, the ad agency JWT created their ads to look like personal classifieds. The style of the placement seems to jump a little more with the art director placement but either way, those perusing the general classifieds might have a little enjoyment at the surprise waiting to catch them off guard. Even small ads have the power to catch your audience and make them pause for a moment to grab a double take and take in your message a little slower and more attentively. What are your thoughts?

PRINT - www.8rewardsroad.com Classified Ad

I stumbled across this tonight and thought I would share it. Though the ad is old it is still a unique approach in the design and layout of the ad. It is more risque than most would be willing to display but perhaps in the market they run in and for the industry it fits the market. This is a great take for a perspective on recruitment ads. The text is a bit fuzzy and I will keep looking for a clearer version.

From the best I can read, here is the text:

PRINT - PerceptGulf adds a little twist to the recruitment ad when hiring for multiple positions

Perceptgulf came up with a nice way to seperate the different divisions that they were hiring for by taking a product integral to their industry and dividing the areas out that make the item up.

Visually it is a nice way to convey all the positions are equal coming together to create something great. If you find yourself running laundry lists for recruitment ads, why not think about different ways to represent your openings?

It might mean setting aside a little extra money to run larger more noticable ads (but not as often) and in the end it will probably be worth it by being more notable than a smaller text list of positions. Try to remain consistant when sending your message out but don't be afraid to reach out with new direction.

This was a nice fresh and new direction taken to display divisions for:

• Copy - writer, proofreader
• Art - art director, graphic designer
• Production - co-ordinator
• Client Servicing - (can't quite make out the first one...), account manager, account executive

What are your thoughts on this approach?

PRINT - HCC Group Hiring "Copyrighters" and Art Directors

Similar to previous campaigns but not quite as exclusive to those who might not be in the know are there HCC Group ads for a copywriter and art director. For the copywriter it stands out for the blatant misspelling and the art director is a little more subtle with the use of Comic Sans, a font most run screaming to the hills from. (see: http://www.petitionspot.com/petitions/bancomicsans)

Although most that come across this might tilt their head in trying to figure out what is so special about the simple layout and text, those few who stop and chuckle get the joke and continue reading through the ad to see just who is looking for "copyrighters" and art directors.
