Marco Duehrkopp unemployed adgrunt in Germany has recieved dozens of job offers after putting his CV up on billboard in Hamburg's busiest media and advertising district.

"Having gone through all the traditional job-hunting methods, there really only was one thing remaining," he told the Berliner Zeitung newspaper.

He subsequently received almost 100 offers, though many were for door to door sales posts, ananova reports.

The man depicted is not Mr Marco Duehrkopp, but Pete Cain (London, UK) pulling a prank in the early days of his adcareer while he was on placement, circa 1994. He did get a job in advertising later, several in fact as he worked at the Leith Agency, BBH London and at Lowe and Partners Worldwide.

It's been a while since I tweeted about @BuyABeerCompany (in fact, so long that it no longer shows up in twitter search, how disappointing, are they cutting the search off at 2 weeks now or what?) so it's high time for an update. The brainchild of Brian Flatow ( @bwflatow ) of the Ad Store and Leah James* Michael Migliozzi, CD & Managing Partner of of Forza Migliozzi, their buyabeercompany is a crowdsourcing attempt to save a classic american brewery. They only need 282 million dollars to reach the dream of owning a piece of drinkable americana. Just in time for christmas, special gift bits are for sale now.

* Leah says that he had nothing to do with it and the blame lies with Michael Migliozzi and Brian Flatlow. They say they came up with it after joking back and forth, but, although denied, I bet there was some drinking involved.
