Bag us our next client and you're hired.
Before you count your chickens here are a few things you need to know.
1. It’s no joke. Zipatoni is a promotional marketing and advertising agency and we’re always on the hunt for our next big client. That’s where you come in. Break out your Palm Pilot, cell phone or if you’re old-school, your Rolodex, and get busy making a connection. Bag Zipatoni our next client and we’ll make you an honorary member of the Zipatoni family, and it’s an honor that comes with perks.
2. It’s not what you know, it’s who you know. Generate a meeting between Zipatoni and a new prospective client that leads to real new business and “You’re Hired." Take home a $100K salary, head out for a night in Zipatoni’s flame-adorned, vintage Cadillac company limo, cocktail with friends at the überhip Zipatoni bar, and take the rest of the year off. It could be the easiest $100K you’ll ever make.
3. All leads must be submitted to yourehired@zipatoni.com – leads submitted by any other means will not be accepted.
4. And, when we say leads, we don’t mean your best friend’s coffee shop or tattoo parlor. Zipatoni is a full-service promotions and advertising agency and we work with clients like eBay, Energizer, Jim Beam, Motorola, Home Depot, Maytag, Majesco Entertainment, White Castle, AOL, Splenda and Hallmark.
5. OK. Let’s see if you’ve got the chops, connections and ingenuity to land Zipatoni our next big client.
Note from the "legal bullshit" attending this offer: New business must generate $5,000,000 in net income for Zipatoni. So the agency's $100K offer is 2% of the minimum qualifying ammount.
Thanks to Agenda Inc. for the pointer.

Does that seem pathetic to anyone else? If I could win the business of a $5m client, I'd keep the business for myself.
I think it's an innovative way for a promo agency to showcase their thinking--in a promotion designed to win new business.
Keeping the business for yourself sounds good. But to service such an account, one needs a team. If you're just a guy with a great Rolodex, you may or may not not have that team at your disposal.
As a person who interviewed with Zipatoni for an account service position a couple months ago, I find this interesting. It reminds me of a time just out of college when I interviewed with Prudential. They were looking for candidates who had a lot of friends, frat brothers and relatives who they could sell their services to. In other words, they seemed like they were more interested in my contacts than me. If I had been able to bring in $5 million in billings at my last company, I would never have been laid off. Interesting concept, though.
