EA gets a 12-year-old to write latest TV spot
EA Games has gotten a 12-year-old British boy to script its newest ad for the game Spore Hero. See the commercial here. I thought 6-year-olds made all video-game ads, but cheap shots are my thing, so I feel better after saying that. The lad (do they still call them that in England?) is named Blake Simons, and he tells Brand Republic: "It was great fun bringing the advert to life, and I'm really looking forward to seeing it on TV." Frankly, that's better than half the quotes I read from fully grown adults in ad-industry press releases. Simons continues: "I'd definitely like to do more directing." He's not old enough to drive, and he already wants to direct! That brat will go far in this business, for sure. |

Blake Simon now holds the record for the youngest copywriter in the world to have his work destroyed by a giant corporation.

I didn't find anything spectacular about the spot.

EA makes great video games, particularly for the XBox. I don't know about this ad, though.
