Creative Director
Havas New York
2018

Craving fresh talent, Havas NY took a radical approach: We handed out our CCO's phone number, challenging interns to text their most mind-blowing ideas. The best ones landed a coveted internship – no resumes required.

Handing out digits

We placed our CCO's mobile number around schools with advertising programs across 15 cities.

2,000 texts later

Harry Bee received over 2,000 texts across every continent.  We also received the largest number of internship applications in the agency's history. And we hired 40 unique and talented interns across all departments.
