Dani ran this for Maraween last year. Choose a Thanksgiving or autumn related CD, DVD, or book.

Welcome to the ATM Ad Agency! Your job is to take our product The Spooks and make an appealing ad campaign for it! We want everyone on Mara to want to rush right out and listen to this cd asap! We want customers to be knocking down the doors of the cd shop looking for this cd! It may be retired, but we want everyone to absolutely want this wonderful cd!

Your ad campaign can be as simple or as complex as you please. You can write a jingle or slogan, you can do artwork with a slogan on it, you can write out a commercial, or whatever else you want to do.

The campaign that makes me want to buy or listen to this cd the most will win the cd!

You can enter by EITHER posting in the comment section or by mailing me. If you want others to see your entry the comment section is the way to go Smile

Ok so prizes....

Have any questions? Feel free to ask in the comments or mail me!

Here is my example... it's not very good cause I'm in a rush, but that's ok lol.

"The hottest new group in town is releasing a special limited edition self titled cd! Yes, that's right! The Spooks will be hitting the shelves in the cd store for a very limited time! Pick up your copy and enjoy the hottest group in town today!"

That is my example, you do not have to make one similar at all. You can do anything your heart desires. It can be short or long. This is just supposed to be a fun little contest where you can get creative. The cd is currently worth 4 million mp, so it's not a super expensive one but hopefully you all enjoy the contest Smile

*Clubbie Appreciation - TAKEN - Azaura
(last time run was around Valentine's Day - example from Oubliette's blog)
Lately I have been thinking a lot about grateful I am for all my family and friends. I am also grateful for everyone I have met here on mara, all my clubbies and those that have helped me when I needed a hand.
As I contemplate how lucky I am I felt it would be a wonderful idea to let people know how appreciated they are for all their kindness, generosity and willingness to lend a hand.

If you would like to nominate a clubbie for this honor please send me your nominations and tell us the reason why you chose that person via mm. Who made the nomination will be kept private and not shared with anyone but myself. But the person nominated and the reason they were chosen will be posted to this blog after the completion of the event so everyone can see all the lovely things said about their clubbies. All nominations will receive a prize but the clubby with the most nominations will get to work with me to choose an item from my trades, attic or gallery that i have more than one item of in appreciation for everything they do.

You can begin nominations now. One vote per person. All nominations must be in by 2/28/24. Nominations will be counted and prizes distributed on 2/29/24.

I can't wait to see all the wonderful people have to say about their fellow clubbies.

Quotes from mm sent by clubbies identifiers will be left out with a couple exceptions lol
