Crispin interns get lunch money via auction
The Crispin Porter + Bogusky Intern Auction has concluded after drawing 44 bids over 10 days. The winning bid: $17,655, from an undisclosed bidder. The winner gets the labor of Crispin's class of summer interns. The agency is passing on the proceeds to the low-paid help, which nets out to $465 for each of the 38 interns, or about $39 a week. That should get them lunch in Boulder. It must be noted that the auction proceeds are on top of what Crispin is paying the interns already and represents a nice bonus, all things considered. It's pretty impressive that the Crispin mystique was able to get this high of a a bid for work that doesn't include any production costs. Could any other shop net as much for its intern labor? If so, why don't they do it? UPDATE: The winner is Brammo, a maker of electric-power motorcycles, according to @bogusky. |

I don't think any other agency could raise that much for their interns, because honestly, who else has 38 friggin interns?

I think 38 sounds reasonable because they have more then one office. They are in Miami, Boulder, and LA.

I'm looking forward to seeing the life that they are able to breathe into these electric cycles.
