how do these guys get a video scroll bar at the top of youtube?

We get a free T-shirt? YES PLEASE

PS: Well done Todd. I would also love to see the final videos from Lions.

Hi Ogilvy! I was just wondering if it's possible that you post the videos of the Todd and Yong pitching the milestone live in Cannes. I'm quite interested to see what their approach was. Oh and by the way, where is my T-Shirt? Still waiting desperately... Well, Germany is far away i guess.

Thanks for a great competition. It was big fun to take part. Will this happen again sometime soon, or will the next World's greatest salesperson be needed only after another 50 years or so?

Cheers, Philip

Todd would work selling to some people, but for me he'd be too phony sounding. I wouldn't want a buddy or a joker as a salesman. I'd listen to them, but I'd be less trusting and more skeptical by someone trying to use charm over someone using pure knowledge, facts, and comparisons.

The other two, I can't find their brick selling videos, only their 'made the final 3' videos, so no comment on them.

Congrats to the finalists and shoutout to jasonschroeder for a most amusing blog!

HAHA! Ogilvy I love the profile pic you gave me on the honor roll. Thanks for the recognition. I truly did this because I found the internship to be a valuable stepping stone. I don't care about titles. May I intern as a Jr. AD in one of your locations? I am the worlds first person in this contest to ask. haha Thanks for creating this challenging assignment. I'm glad I am not the only one that chose to have fun with it.

Please also take a look at my other two videos that were also used to consider my entry! Each video is targeted at three different audiences. The posted at the top is "Trendsetters;" The other two are "Foodies" and "Parents." Thank you!

Todd...4 seconds.
I thought the pt of giving an *unknown* a chance at turning their creativity+drive into an opp to be a potential Ogilvy sales maverick was to suss out those who'd prove 2b problematic disciples, unable to respect regulation.
The fact that finalists were bound for Cannes told me something visually creative was in order. My "film" was 1:59 long +resulted in sales.
I was quite devastated that my creativity & adherence to the rules did not result in an opp to present either my written or interview skills.
That said, I want to thank Mr. Rory Sutherland 4being so gracious & attentive. TY Ogilvy for the opportunity. Yong, excellent but for the brick alteration. Eric, I hope you are victorious.
Dear Mr. Ogilvy's Spirit,
I thought...If I don't [sell] follow the rules, I don't eat. I would have loved to have learned all about yourself and your prodigious company. Please say hello to my grandpa.

Go Todd Herman!

There might have been better videos, but it wasn't a contest to make a funny video. It was a contest to find the world's greatest salesperson that happened to be on YouTube.
So go ahead and be bitter if you want. It's a really awesome approach.
I'm sure the judges will see your super cool comments and totally change their minds.
