Melbourne chancers hold top creative directors to ransom in pursuit of job
Grinter and Spencer-Michaelsen
A Melbourne creative duo has held the domain names of the city’s top creative directors to ransom in return for a meeting with them.
Art director Andrew Grinter and copywriter Lee Spencer-Michaelsen bought the domain names of the likes of Clemenger BBDO Melbourne ECD Ant Keogh and CumminsRoss boss Sean Cummins and left a ransom notes on their sites to demand a meeting – or else their sites would be redirected.
“They didn’t know who we were. We remained anonymous. All they knew is that we had the dotcom and wanted a meeting,” Grinter told Mumbrella.
Good on them and good luck. Sure will stand out from the masses!
Meh. Try that with a client, then we’ll talk.

Well done. Everyone has to work at DT Digital once in their careers.
It didn’t work very well if they ended up at DTDigital.
Thank God they didn’t come into our office. I would have been beside myself , being originally from South Africa and all.

Ha! I love it. Dev, I hope they do try it with a client. It would beat the hell out the cakes and flowers I’ve seen lately.
Meeting 7 CDs (that you don’t already know) is a truly outstanding result.
Well done guys.
Great work guys.
I think we often forget what it’s like getting into the industry when we first started.
