Have you ever met a group of people and instantly known that you were meant to be in a zombie-inspired rock band together? I don’t know how to explain why once a year my agency channels all of its energy into costume makeup and hit-list mashups in an effort to become the #1 voted ad agency cover band in Los Angeles by drunken applause, but whatever the reason, it is probably the best thing that has ever happened to me.
I was like Sandra Dee in Grease before my coworkers threw me into a sequin dress, ratted my hair, and made me conservatively hip-thrust to Thriller in front of Macklemore. Look how far we have come.
For those who don’t know, AdJam is Battle of the Bands with LA’s finest advertising agencies governed by three judges and an audience of over 1,000 people. Last year, we didn’t win on a technicality that our band had to play first. This year, AdJam is having people vote for the band line up based on music video submissions. I don’t ask for much (besides letting me throw up an absurd amount of Amazon affiliate links on my posts so I can fund my personal blog), but I would love it if you could vote for BLITiZen Kane this week to get us the ‘sweet spot’ at AdJam coming soon to a House of Blues near you. See our video submission below and click here to vote.
Props goes to the classy Jack Schlinkert for this video and copywriting as well as Ken Martin for changing the lyrics of ‘We are the World’ to something much more heartwarming for advertising professionals.
