This video may be cute but it runs counter to current sales successes where push just doesn't work. Have these folks read John Hagel's "pull" statements? They still think we are "consumers." But I'm sure they'll get a lot of funny video responses.

It's just a way to promote themselves. Ogilvy is short on cash but still full of creativity!

Mass marketing and false sales for things we really don't need. This is one of the major reasons for the contribution of the environment and then economy going in the toilet. Just like wars and environmental disasters. Propaganda is the biggest sales pitch. We've been conditioned with instant technology and easy access debt. How much more can we take as a society. Yah contests are great and lots of money would be nice but what happens when farmers get pushed out of business?

I came up with the "Celebrity Brick" concept for my video sales pitch--

"One in a Million" "This is no ordinary brick... " We've added to our Celebrity Brick

collection: Sarah Palin's "Gotcha" brick, Rhett Butler's "damn" brick, Conan OBrien's come-back brick, Orson Welles' "Rosebud" brick, Margo Channing's "bumpy ride" brick, Gordon Gekko's "Greed" brick, E.T.'s "phone home" brick, Richard Nixon's "tricky-dick" brick, Stanley's "Ku"brick, Irving "Berlin's wall" brick & Lady GaGa's "hot" brick

@allinaday I agree hardselling is not the way anymore. But the idea is cool - after all, it's about the technique. (:

I think O is nothing like it was 20, 30, 40 years ago... BUT, how stuff is sold online, on TV, etc. it's still his methods and techinques.
