This copywriter's cover letter sets a pretty high standard for job applications.
Chase Zreet applied to work on 絶対無料ポルノ映画the Sprite account at Wieden+Kennedy, an ad agency in New York. Instead of submitting a traditional cover letter, he submitted a three minute music video rapping about his love for Sprite and his qualifications in advertising, and it's actually really catchy.

In the music video, titled "Cover Letter," Zreet rode through Dallas, Texas in a Sprite-themed costume. He alternated between green and yellow suits, complete with a gold chain adorned with a lemon and a lime.
In an interview with Adweek, Zreet said he's a fan of Vince Staples and "the idea for a rap came and was just one of those things that wouldn't shut up."
W+K creative director Jimm Lasser said the video stood out because "there's too much emphasis put on portfolios, and not enough on the creative enthusiasm of a candidate." He told Adweekthat Zreet had demonstrated a "mastery of Sprite's brand color palette."
And it worked: Zreet starts at W+K in April. He's not sure if he'll be on the Sprite team but he's "excited to be heading to NYC."
