Alec Brownstein is Now Internet Famous

The dude we introduced you to yesterday is now super-dee-duper internet famous, and all he did was get a job. Alec Brownstein, copywriter and director, got a job at Y&R by buying keywords on Google. Those keywords also happened to be the names of prominent creative directors with whom he wanted to work. And work it did, now he’s got a gig at Y&R, but tomorrow he’ll be on ABC and CBS talking about how he did it. Deep Focus lead Ian Schafer will also be on with Alec but so far we have no idea why is not on the show. It’s some other Ian.

The internet: always interesting, rarely for understandable reasons.
