WANTED: Big thinking entrepreneur for documentary film. Must travel.

entrepreneur wanted WANTED: Big thinking entrepreneur for documentary film. Must travel.Yesterday, we received the following ‘pitch’ through our editorial ideas submission form:

We are looking for a charismatic solo entrepreneur (or aspiring entrepreneur) to take part in an innovative documentary film project.

If you are an outgoing, entrepreneurial, ambitious man, aged 28 to 45 and available to travel overseas for up to two weeks sometime in the next couple of months, then this project could provide you and your business with extensive exposure to a national and international audience.

This is an exceptional opportunity for self-promotion as part of a professional film production project.

It sounded like an adventure that might be of interest to our readers. So,we checked it out.

It is an initiative of The Hallway, a Sydney based digital marketing and advertising agency. The project is top secret. Based on this video extracted from The Hallway website, however, it’s not hard to guess the project’s agenda.

John Jameson Productions – Case Study Video

Whatever the purpose, it involves free international travel with unapologetic opportunities for blatant self-promotion. Sounds like fun. So, here’s the link: http://www.smallbizdoco.com.au./. (We notice that the form incorporates no privacy clauses. Just so you know.)

    Hi, I'm the producer at The Hallway on this project. Just to clarify, it's not for Jameson Irish Whiskey but it is a great opportunity. So get in contact if you're keen through http://www.smallbizdoco.com.au. Also, if you look at the footer you will find a privacy policy http://www.smallbizdoco.com.au./privacy_policy.php. Cheers, TH.

    Thanks for keeping us on our toes Tom. BTW… I’m sure that our readers would be keen to hear what kind of response your promotion has so far generated, and it’s commercial nature when you are at liberty to discuss more.

    For example, it if comes to light that the purpose is to promote prostate cancer awareness, jock-straps, Old Spice or other ‘manly’ subject matters, you might lesson your critics (even if we can’t help appreciating the humour in their criticism). ;-)

    “If you are an outgoing, entrepreneurial, ambitious man”. Perhaps the other 50 percent of the entrepreneurial population can come along on the shoot and make cups of tea.

    Do you wish to add tall, anglo and from private school to the description or would that be discriminatory?

    I am looking forward to the day when talent in advertising, TV and movies can be aged older than 45 – and I’m a Gen-Xer.

Have you ever wondered… Why every industry has only a few businesses that thrive and get more leads? And they don’t suffer from cash flow problems or lack of leads, even when there is an ‘economic downturn’. They don’t have to ‘push’ or make stacks of cold calls.
