THE IMPOSSIBLE PITCH II - HELP THE INTERNS! check this out http://buzz.bazooka.se/


APELSIN TO JOS
A LEGENDARY ESTONIAN POP GROUP.
A FARAWAY NIGERIAN CITY.
AND A SEAT LEFT FOR YOU.


Back in March, Swedish advertising agency Volontaire put its philosophy* to task by getting three interns to blog the progress of their ideas for a pitch presentation for Adidas worldwide called The Impossible Pitch.

Now, three more interns have been set a new mission for the agency’s client Brämhults, a small Swedish juice company with a big dream: to take the legendary Estonian pop group Apelsin to the Nigerian city of Jos.

To understand why, here is a Swedish glossary:
Apelsin = Orange (you know, the fruit) Jos = Juice (freshly squeezed, of course)

By taking the Estonian band to the Nigerian city, Brämhults hopes to manifest their business idea in an entertaining way.

However, there is one problem: the Estonian band doesn’t know anything about this yet.

So in late November, the interns are going to Tallinn to try and persuade Apelsin to get on a bus and drive through Europe, over the Gibraltar Strait to Western Africa and the Nigerian city of Jos, where they will shake hands with the mayor, and play their brilliant tunes in front of hundreds of ecstatic people.They will probably say NO.

That’s why the interns have two weeks to whoop up a petition via a social media campaign on Facebook, YouTube, Twitter and their daily blog of ideas, dreams, videos and suggestions: http://www.apelsintojos.com/. The more that sign up as fans on Facebook, the bigger the chance that Apelsin says YES.
So what’s in it for the audience? One lucky Facebook fan gets a seat on the bus to Nigeria with the band. The rest will follow the road trip as a mini series.

The Impossible Pitch - GO INTERNS!

How genius is this. Is a pitch via Twitter a Twitch?

THE IMPOSSIBLE PITCH - HELP THE INTERNS!

The elevator pitch is dead. Enter the twitter pitch.

Swedish advertising agency Volontaire has five beliefs:

Companies no longer have the power to control their brands
Communicate with people, not target groups
It's neither about traditional nor new media
No one is waiting for your next advertising campaign
Great ideas come from everywhere

It is putting its philosophy to task by getting three interns to blog the progress of their ideas for a pitch presentation for Adidas worldwide.

All first year students at Berghs School of Communication, Malin Berg, 22, Elisabet Fischer, 24 and Henrik Bohman, 23 were given a mission:

1. Pitch on Adidas worldwide
2. Win the account
3. Within three weeks

Why? Because according to Adidas, impossible is nothing.

The Volontaire interns have been posting images, video clips, their thoughts and ideas on http://www.theimpossiblepitch.com/, twitter, tumblr and youtube ahead of the big reveal on the website of their full blown presentation on Friday this week, in the hope that Adidas bosses take notice and give Volontaire the adidas.tv account – rendering the impossible pitch possible.

People from all walks of life from all around the world have been posting their suggestions, ideas and support:

Love your attitude and your approach! Keep going! Here are some brilliant sport moments that always inspired me: Dieter Baumann won the 5k olympic race (1992) Holyfield came back in one of the greatest rounds in history (1992?) Derek Redmond didn't won, but he finished! (1992) /Florian About http://www.theimpossiblepitch.com/
