Here’s an excerpt from my post over at the Marketing Profs Daily Fix today:
It can be tough to find a job in the advertising biz. Especially if you’re in Germany and want to work in the “British Empire or Americas.” So what do you do? You might start a blog about your job search and reach out to other bloggers, like Sacrum has done. Who is Sacrum? In his own words:
I am Sacrum. I am European man with skills in advertising. I should be in advertising yes? Yes! But I am not and this is a shame. Shame is worry, shame is darkness. I must have light! So I must get in to funky advertising agency. And this I try. Here my blog. I have my own pencils.
The quest of this advertising Borat (sans the dirty jokes) has all the trappings of a great Hollywood story: An endearing underdog sets out to land a job at a major ad agency against all odds.
For the rest of the story, with an interesting twist, head over to the Marketing Profs Daily Fix blog. I am sending you warmness!

Unfortunately his quest has ended rather abruptly, I’m afraid. His blog no longer exists. Any news or ideas pertaining the subject?
It seems that Sacrum’s alter ego Marcus Brown decided to quit blogging (both on his own blog and Sacrum’s) and sadly deleted the sites rather than leave them for posterity.
