Ad campaign by innovative ad agency Droga5 for a MAJOR TECH COMPANY. Please read the following information carefully: 

Do you or does someone you know have a quirky hobby? Are you a jack/jane of all trades, master of none? Do you have an off-beat hidden talent? We are casting people ages 18-25 (GEN-Z) who have great personalities and a surprisingly wide range of interests and who connect to their communities through various social media platforms.

• The first phase is a 3 hour on camera interview with the client for which you will be paid $250. If this interview footage is used in the final campaign, you will be paid an additional $2,000. 

 

• In the second phase, select talent will be chosen from the interviews as cast for the final campaign, and some of those cast members will be shooting additional footage featuring their hobbies. Those talent, who have the extra shoot day, will receive an extra $600 for a 12 hour shoot and $5,000 if their footage makes the final campaign.
