Hold Please.


Gotta love this. There's a small advertising agency in Seattle - Creature. They must have had a little extra time on their hands......they decided to re-do their own on hold music. What they came up with is both creative and fun!

No boring Muzak here. No highly caffeinated psuedo pop rock. No smoooooth jazz.

Just a thoughtful rant on your next conversation.

"I heard the rumors about how bad our hold music was -- and so I called and asked to be put on hold and I was really embarrassed," said Jim Haven, chief creative officer at Creature. "You spend so much time talking to people on your cell phones, you kind of forget about the main phone number and that to many people it's the gateway. At any rate, I challenged the creative department to come up with a solution."

"This Next Telephone Conversation," gives you some insight in to what MIGHT happen next. My personal favorite take is: "You MIGHT find yourself on a cliff, drinking beer, with a midget".

They're teasing us now with the possibility of adding more songs --- maybe a 'Songs to Hold By' greatest hits!

Love to see creative people look for any and all outlets for their creativity.
