Wieden + Kennedy’s reality television
So I was noticing, while trying to find WK 12’s AIDS PSA on YouTube, that what Wieden + Kennedy may really want to be when it grows up is a reality TV show. Just go to YouTube and type Wieden in the search box. In addition to finding many of the agency’s TV commercials, you’ll find promos for this year’s Wieden pie contest, 11 seconds from the first annual Wieden golf tournament, Wieden fight night, and the little filmlet shown above, posted this week (but apparently shot in February), in which two employees, calling themselves JLowe and brianarocks, stalk the halls of the agency late on a Thursday night to see who is still working, promising to show Dan Wieden, “who deserves to work here.” Maybe Wieden got tired of other people filming them and posting the results. —Posted by Catharine P.

I couldn't find the AIDS PSA. That search was fruitless. If you go to the World AIDS Day post and go to the site I mention there, you can view it.

so some people post some vids on youtube, a person searches for them by using the search work "wieden" and they find multiple videos posted by multiple people who work at wk. of course this can only mean that workers at wk are hungry for tv stardom.
using that logic, cats pooping in toilets, babies laughing and grandma's thanksgiving party are also hunting to be the next reality tv sensation.
most of these vids were created for people who work at the agency, and you tube is obviously the easiest place to share large files like these.

actually, cats pooping in toilets do wish to be the next reality tv sensation.

You should check the Lunchbox performances they do at WK. They are on YouTube too.

No, they really are hip film makers. Nothing fake about it.
