All right people. We have just one shot to get this right or our ad agency is going in the toilet. Per Fred the janitor's ideas, we've sunk every last penny into purchasing the technology to re-animate deceased corporate mascots. I don't know why we went for that, honestly-I suppose we should stop inviting Fred to the Christmas party, or maybe I just should have waited for more ideas before going for it.

Anyway, we have to find the perfect client to match this technology, because we can't go on much longer without a client. So today's meeting is to find the perfect client to pitch this idea to. It can't miss. It has to make perfect sense. It has to warm and delight audience, and not freak them out.

So let's get down to the ideas everyone submitted. The Copywriting team suggested Morris the Cat. We dig him up, we re-animate him, maybe give him a slightly more urban feel with maybe a bass voice, some ebonics, and we also string him up to some wires and move him around like a marionette. Their tagline is: "9 Lives: No Strings Attached, bitches!" Copywriting, while I like the idea in general, it doesn't make much sense so I'm going to have to pass.

Art directing suggested coming up with reanimating the "Where's the Beef?" lady. Have her say "Where's the Beef?" again, but maybe we could also have her breakdancing-and we could animate the beef, too. Maybe do a Paul Abdul/MC Scat Cat kind of thing. Our only problem is that we can't remember what company used that campaign or what it was even for so we're going to pass.

Sales thought it would be fun to bring back the duck from Aflac, like maybe have him fly down from heaven, shake his beak in a sort of exasperated way, and talk about how he's so glad he has insurance so now that he's back to life, he can afford to take care of his family, etc. I think that's a great hook but a.) I don't think the duck technically died and b.) I don't think it was really alive to begin with. So, no.

Or last idea comes from Cassie over in HR. She suggests re-animating Orville Redenbacher, because, according to her, "he's sexy." She also suggested Frank Purdue but honestly I'm not sure if he's dead yet. Listen, I'm hungry and I'm ready for lunch. So should we just go with Orville? Orville? Orville? Everyone happy? OK, good meeting, everyone. Now let's go out there and sell some popcorn with a reanimated dead person!
