“Unlimited hours. No breaks. The most important job is also the world's toughest job.”
What began as a hoax-job advertisment led to real interviews via webcam. The video ad, created by Mullen, captures realtime reactions from the interviewees and quickly turns into an unexcepted, tear-jerker campaign for American Greetings Card Store for Mother's Day.
The twist at the end is worth seeing the video through.
The ad launches in line with Mother's Day in America (11 May) and uses the hashtag #worldstoughestjob.
