The American Association of advertising agencies has joined forces with career fair producer Shomex Productions, to present Diversity in Advertising Career Day, an advertising career and job fair aimed at helping to increase the level of qualified, mid-career candidates from ethnically and racially diverse backgrounds.

Diversity in Advertising Career Day debuted in 2007 to commemorate the first anniversary of a landmark agreement between New York City and top Gotham advertising agencies to require diversification of their workforces.

The event provides a forum for multicultural professionals to network and explore career opportunities in advertising, marketing and communications, and for companies to source top-caliber, diverse candidates.

The third annual Career Day will be held at the Hilton Towers in New York City on April 22nd, 2009.

The last New York event, in April of this year, was officially proclaimed as Diversity in Advertising & Public Relations Career Day by Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg.

KLM Commercial – Swan take-off

admin — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 21:19:35 +0000

1990s TV commercial for KLM Royal Dutch Airlines. KLM based its whole advertising strategy on swans and this is one of its beautiful commercials featuring this majestic bird. It appears as it if was taxiing for take-off with a voice over the P.A. asking flight attendants to set doors on “evac” (automatic), setting flaps for take-off, testing flight controls, and calling the take-off speeds. All, with the sounds of jet engines, and Randy Crawford’s “One Day I’ll Fly Away” (which was interpreted by Nicole Kidman in the movie Moulin Rouge).
