Brand Ambassador? Really? BRAND AMBASSADOR? See this is what I’m talking about when I gripe about agency pretentiousness. Brand Ambassador. How about RECEPTIONIST? There is no shame in being a receptionist, especially for a company as well-respected as DC. Why the desire to fluff up the titles? Is the Janitor called the Refuse Diplomat or the Lavatory Legionairre? Jebus effing Criminey, there is definitely a fine line between creative, clever copywriting and pretentious assheaddery and I think agencies cross that line when they do stupid crap like this.
Ok, rant complete. Have a good weekend everybody.
I take it you never got the call-back from DC…. I’d be ranting, too, if stuck at Stoltz.

No, actually that one was even worse. Got decaf?
Yeah, it’s pretty ridiculous. The term “brand ambassador” is being used everywhere these days. Even the sample ladies at the grocery store on Saturdays are brand ambassadors. If I wear a pair of Lucky jeans this weekend, can I add “Lucky Jeans Brand Ambassador” to my resume?
Does anyone know if they started calling people back for interviews?
