Wow. That video totally misses the mark. It was craptastic. *sigh* People need to talk to someone who knows what they are doing in this social media realm before spending good money on crap like this.

Lori: I think this is great for all of the applicants as wineries are watching this and the best will find gigs elsewhere. Best of luck.

And what a great stunt it is. I think the diversity of the applicants makes it interesting, especially for those of us who don't have a "communications degree" or a vast history as a food blogger or a social media strategist. Personally I applied because I thought, why not take a chance on something that would be incredibly fun, interesting and a chance to make some money. Kudos to all of us that have applied...whether off the wall, seriously ridiculous, laugh out loud funny or yes even those who had the polished professional videos. So, for those of us that may not have the polished video's, we at least are giving you all something to talk about. And, while you're deciding, vote for me http://www.areallygoodejob.com/video-view.aspx?vi...

That video is truly awful.

Great post though – I've only been vaguely following this from abroad and thought it sounded a bit of a stunt … glad I'm not the only one!

Yes, but I'm not sure all the free PR will lead to increased sales unless they make the right choice in the winner. Will keep an eye on this story.

Thanks for stopping by, Jeff.

Good post, Tim. You wonder the same things I wonder. I have to believe the earned media they've gotten has really taken them by pleasant surprise. Talk about PR ROI.
