I hope Chris Kahle had a good first week at his new job at Crispin Porter + Bogusky. There’s no doubt he would let the world know since he had no objections telling everyone on Twitter he was unemployed.
In fact, that’s how the inventive Kahle got the job with Crispin. The former copy writer for Publicis‘ Vancouver office invited Twitter users to send messages, or “tweets,” on his behalf to the company’s co-chairman, Alex Bogusky. Kahle sweetened the pot, saying he would donate $1 to charity for the first 200 tweets. (No word on if Kahle made good on that.)
Bogusky was impressed by Kahle’s pluck but wasn’t sold on interviewing him or hiring him at first. Somewhere along the line, Bogusky changed his tune and did hire Kahle, who started at the end of June. It’s not surprising given Crispin’s unorthodox ideas, eccentric campaigns, and focus on trends in technology.
So Chris Kahle, what are you doing now?
