Sorry for the long intro.. the good girl is coming soon.
Spencer: "Okay, everyone. Let's start."
Spencer is introducing our next possible campaign and I've already got the feeling that this is going to be a long day..
Spencer: "Pepsi has traditionally been the number two coke in America. What the Pepsi's people are looking for is increased sampling. They're convinced that if they can get people to try their product, they'll keep on using it. Three other agencies in addition to ours have been invited to participate in the review. The pitch is on Friday...and we don't leave this room until we're solid on a concept."
Spencer is really relentless when it comes to possible advertising orders. The good news is that I didn't have any plans at all for tonight. Since I don't have anyone waiting for me at home I don't have to argue about my time consuming job. That's good, right?
Who am I kidding? I'm just lonely. But hey, I like being single. That's what I told Spencer. Now, I only have to convince myself.
At least I like my job. I'm not yet where I want to be but I love being creative. And thinking about possible campaign strategies for Pepsi is a welcome relief from the daily paperwork.
While everyone is busy thinking about an advertisement for Pepsi the door opens and Alison enters.
Wow, she is soo beautiful, flawless even. Good thing she doesn't look in my direction otherwise she would catch me staring. But that also means she's not the least interested in me. I wish I was a Pepsi for her.. Then I would be at least her number two. And she would touch me softly while seductively licking her lips and leading me towards her flawless face and her luxurious lips and then..-Ok, let's concentrate on the task at hand again! Otherwise I will start drooling. And since I'm neither her number two nor number three or four or ten on her list this thought will get me nowhere. Number two.. Number two.. Who else is a number two? Didn't..
"Didn't Cindy Crawford graduate second in her class?" I ask Spencer.
"Did Cindy Crawford graduate?" Spencer asks looking at our colleagues and raises one eyebrow.
"I think she did. Second in her class. In biochemistry, I think."
The other people in the room including Alison are looking sceptically at me.
"Please. My friend -my colleague- is having an epiphany." Spencer explains and no one dares to interrupt me.
"Ok" I start and Spencer motions for me to stand up. "I'll, uh, I'll give you|the print first." Everyone looks at me expectantly. "Um, okay. Big picture of Cindy Crawford."
"Already this is good." One of my male colleagues utters. Of course it is. We're talking about Cindy Crawford!
"The headline reads 'If you never gave number two a try, think what you'd be missing.'"
I look at Alison and she seems to be intrigued. I have to look away in order to stay focused and continue.
"In comes a picture of Cindy and beneath that, a little log line that says,
'Cindy Crawford graduated second from Podunk University, a B.S. in biochemistry. Then on the facing page, a beauty shot of Cindy holding a Pepsi." Sean, one of my colleagues, is already drooling.
"And beneath that in big letters, Pepsi. Number two worldwide, and that ain't bad."
