$500,000 to Advertise on Four People at a Televised Award Show

Most people have read of the man auctioning off his forehead as a billboard. It offered an unusual marketing stunt, but one that is now considered passé. To get people’s attention marketing has got to be more interesting, more daring & a little bit more controversial.

HOLLYWOOD, CA (PRWEB) December 28, 2005 -- For the first time ever a person is auctioning off the opportunity to advertise you, your company, your logo, your cause & your website on four people at a televised award show. The auction, which has a minimum opening bid price of $250,000 is currently being offered via the Internet auction site eBAY & closes at 07:00:00 PST on New Year’s Day 2006.

This auction is important because if it is successful it will not only bring advertising to a whole new level, it will almost certainly create a moral debate within the advertising community. With the seller stating that he & his team are 100% committed to accommodating the auction winners advertising request, even if it requires them to disrobe on the award show carpet the advertising community will not be the only people exposed to this auction.

What is truly unique about this auction is not the picture of Angelina Jolie kissing the seller, but that the seller is guaranteeing to pay the auction winner $10,000 if he cannot provide proof that he has industry credentials, an established history of appearing at award shows & actually has tickets to the award show he & his team intend to advertise at.

With more & more demands on companies to try & get consumer’s attention this eBAY seller is guaranteeing to grab consumer’s attention & revolutionize advertising at the same time. Like it or not, advertising is taking a new direction. Shawn N. can be reached at 630-862-1139.
