On the second day of Christmas, Spin Sucks gave to you… two secrets to become a Spin Sucks Crazy and the PR win of 2014.
Becoming a part of the Spin Sucks Crazies is no doubt on the 2015 list of many.
So today, we are going to help all of those “Crazies-in-Training” out there and share the two super special, hashtag-password-protected, secret handshake locked, ancient code hidden in a secret wall of an Egyptian tomb secrets to becoming a certified member of our team of Crazies.
Now these aren’t just your typical, every day super powers, such as flying or super-sonic speed. Those are way too boring for our Crazies.
These are unique super powers, found nowhere else.
Some examples include:
As you can see we only accept extraordinary. Please take note when submitting your application for Craziness—average superpowers need not apply.
(Note: If you film yourself taking the pledge you get brownie points)
I, (enter you name) do solemnly swear to do my part every day to fight the forces of destructive spin. I promise to read the Spin Sucks blog daily and with intention (exceptions made for family emergencies, natural disasters, and other pre-approved excuses), support my fellow Crazies, ask questions when I have them, and use the lessons of integrated, results-focused communications for good vs. evil. While I might not always comment, or comment at all (we love our “phantom” Crazies too) I shall do my part to help transform the PR industry.
Then you must yell “Spin Sucks” as a cheer.
Spirit fingers required. Pom pom usage a definite bonus, along with any efforts to organize a parade, big band salute, or fireworks that explode to spell out “Spin Sucks” in the sky.
And that’s pretty much it.
We look forward to meeting and learning from our 2015 Spin Sucks Crazies Inductees. You all are what makes our world go round. Our very own PR and Marketing Pro Avenger Team.
You teach us daily, make us think, make us laugh, and make Spin Sucks what it is with your unique, amazing, and often ridiculous super powers.
And now we turn it over to the Crazies themselves: What additional tips do you all have for all those wanna-bes out there?
