ATB CRASHES THE SUPER BOWL

A 7-Eleven clerk once told me, “If you don’t like Doritos, you’re a communist.”  Not one to be blacklisted, I immediately bought fourteen bags.

A number of our clients have apparently had the same experience, because they’ve produced and starred in commercials for Doritos’ annual CRASH THE SUPERBOWL contest!  Every year thousands of applicants submit videos, but only ONE is chosen for the Super Bowl!  But that’s not all, folks!

The first place winner gets a cool $1,000,000 (plus we get 10% of that, right?).  Which is the same amount of money the kid in the movie Blank Check gave himself, and look at all the awesome stuff he was able to do!  Second place snags $600,000 and third $400,000…or enough to buy that new Aston Martin V12 Vantage (yes, James Bond’s car!).

Oh, did I mention that the first place winner gets to work with The Lonely Island (Andy Samberg, Jorma Taccone, and Akiva Schaffer)?  Yeah, there’s that, too.

Do yourself a favor and check out these awesome videos, and be sure to vote on both our poll as well as the Doritos CRASH THE SUPER BOWL website for your favorite!  Official voting begins on January 4^th, so mark your calendars!

"Where are the links to the videos?!" you ask?  Look below, dear reader!

And remember to watch the Big Game on February 5th, because if you don't you hate America.  And you don’t hate America, do you?

THANK YOU, THANKSGIVING

Thanksgiving is here!

Turkey’s in the oven, pumpkin pie’s cooling by the windowsill, stuffing is being, uh…stuffed.  Yes, it’s that glorious time of year where we give thanks and gain five pounds!

Thanksgiving is about family.  It’s about coming together and sharing in the joy and comfort of one another, taking the time to recognize how fortunate we’ve all been.  We give thanks to those who have helped guide us to where we are today.

Across the Board Talent has plenty to be thankful for this year.  We have great staff, incredibly talented clients, and interns we just can’t live without.  We’re one big happy family. 

From all of us at ATB, thank you for giving us something to be thankful for!

WELCOME TO A NEW BEGINNING

This is it, guys & gals.  This is where everything changes. 

Across the Board Talent has always been about one thing: giving our clients the time and respect they deserve.  Our small network allows us to focus on our talented clientele, giving them the competitive edge.  But we’re always looking for ways to improve, to make our connections stronger.
