Good news on the job front......

Bartle Bogle Hegarty are interested in me. The bad news, it's for their office in Kabul, Afghanistan. Yes, I didn't know they had an office there, either. My headhunter informs me that the pool of prospects is surprisingly shallow so my chances look good.

Apparently my only serious competition is Mullah Nagi Omar, Chief Creative Officer at Taliban, Worldwide. According to my headhunter his portfolio is rather limited. Not much digital, but lots of direct mail. More importantly though, he has NO positive experience with feminine brands.

BBH Kabul was opened last year to manage Friends of Opium an advocacy group made up of farmers and international businessmen that seeks to counter the negative image of Opium. For instance, did you know that Opium has been found to have increased the sex drive of monkeys. Move over, Viagra.

The other main accounts at BBH Kabul are The Afghan Kebab House and the animal rights group, the Afghan Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Afghans (ASPCA). Will keep you posted.
