Fallon in business of molding young minds
The e-mail began: "Like a seed thrives and flourishes in a greenhouse, Fallon aims to foster young creative minds." I should have stopped there. But I read further: “Fallon has just launched their version of the Miami Ad School’s Greenhouse Program called AdKare.” Basically, students get to work at Fallon for a while for some real-world experience. Does AdKare give report cards? Adweek does, every year, to the nation’s largest agencies. Fallon’s most recent creative mark was a B+. That’s impressive, though overall the shop got a C-, owing largely to its failing financial grade. Hey, kids, enrolling in AdKare will be like getting taught by the class clown! Anyway, I’m getting into the spirit and adding an internship program to my ad school, which I launched on AdFreak last year and seems to exist only in my imagination. Ah, the mail’s arrived, and the first application is from ... Steve Biegel?! It’s going to be a long semester.

Do they pay? I was at BBH on an internship and got to work on some pretty big and real assignments. Got paid too.

Hey Dave,
The class clown? Yeah, if I were a young person looking to get some experience I would only accept the opportunity to work at Crispin because thats where its at right? I am interested in interning at adfreak. I'm plenty snarky and would be happy to comment on people doing creative that I can only write about.
Send me your syllabus,
B

Fallon has a student program? That funny, as they barely have an Ad Agency now. Sounds like Albert Kelly has yet again knock off another agencies idea. WK12.
What a fake.
