Youngbloods presents Gage Roads Hard Sell

A Youngbloods creative competition where you’ve gotta sell a brand’s product to its least likely audience.

Background

Well, well, well. Back for more, hey? Your thirst for solving impossible briefs wasn’t quenched by selling Valentine’s Day chocolates to single people? Or maybe you’re a first-timer, and you have no idea what we’re talking about. Hold my beer because it’s time for another round of The Hard Sell, the creative competition where you’ve gotta sell a brand’s product to its least likely audience. The kind of brief that you’d never get at your day job, but you’d totally cheat on your other briefs with. Entries will be judged by some of the best creatives in the biz, plus if you win, you’ll score yourself a seriously good-looking prize. Like a year’s supply of Gage Roads beers, with a carton a month for 12 months. And it’s totally free, so cheers to that! Are you ready for round two?
