A recruitment advertisement that works… BIG TIME!

Wow! How creative is this? Jobsintown.de an online employment company in Denmark (presumably) has launched a very cool ad campaign to lure people to their website. Check out the screenshot below!

What the arrow is pointing to is a rather ingenious ad of a guy handling financial transactions while trapped in an ATM machine. The caption beneath it is “Life is too short for the wrong job.” (NICE!) Below is a bigger shot of that same image and another brilliant piece; some poor slob serving drinks and collecting money, but from inside of a vending machine.

What I especially like about these ads is that they are life-sized and (at first glance) easy to mistake for the real thing. Wow! Hat tip to VisualFunHouse for the pictures.

Nothing says "Thanks for posting this Jim!" like Starbucks Coffee. Click here to buy me a cup (or two).

Here is another example here: http://visualfunhouse.com/altered_reality/coffee-machine-optical-illusion.html

That one is of a woman working inside of a coffee vending machine.

Hi Jim,

I wish you a happy new and successful year. jobsintown.de is a German job site by the way I really like their ads as well. Good fun for the rather sad German recruitment landcape.
