Well, you know those Free Credit Report commercials with the guys singing the hilarious jingles while playing the role of a struggling band? Well, they've decided to switch gears and names and they want to add a real live band (since the guys you see on the ads right now are just actors) and they are reaching out to Just Plain Folks to see if we have the band they are looking for!
Thanks to our friend Michael Lourdeaux of 1776 Media Network who brought this opportunity to my attention this week, we've got a couple weeks to get the best bands (2-5 member) in any genre (with vocals), who are all over 21 and US Citizens (since that is their market for this) to post a 1 minute jingle of one of the 5 jingles they have posted on the contest page. There's no charge to enter, just an amazing chance to be a part of their new campaign. There's even a chance you could be in a commercial during the upcoming MLB Baseball All-Star Game. And who knows, imagine if your band became their regular spokesband? How many times have you seen those commercials? Talk about potential exposure? In my opinion that could exceed even the exposure that Lee and Chris got for their achievements... but let's not get ahead of ourselves.. the first thing you need to do is read their rules, visit the official entry page, follow the rules, kick major butt during your 1 minute video (I'd make sure you blew their socks off, made them laugh and go "WOW!!!!" but that's just my opinion on it). You can see some of the entries you're competing with and I know some of you can shine big time in this. So without further ado.. here's the guidelines and rules! Now get the band together, get your video camera ready, pick a jingle, learn it and blow them away! Let's keep the success roll going!
Here's the official guidelines, prizes and info from Free Credit Score!
---------------------------------------------------------
For every band that rocks out in their basement or signs autographs for fans in their neighborhood bar, there is the chance to be discovered during a nationwide search by freecreditscore.com(tm) for a new band to star in its advertising campaign. As freecreditscore.com increases its consumer focus on providing free credit scores, the company has set its sights on finding a new band to represent the brand and is giving talent from anywhere in the country a chance to enter the search.
Bands that wish to be considered must submit a demo video in which band members perform one of the freescreditscore.com jingles posted on the website. The search is open to bands with members 21 years of age or older, in any genre from country to indie rock. Bands can find freecreditscore.com songs, lyrics and guidelines for uploading their audition videos posted on http://www.freecreditscoreband.com.
Four finalist bands will be chosen to receive national media exposure during the Major League Baseball (MLB) All-Star game, as well as prize packages from musical instrument leader Gibson Guitar and Live Nation. The three runners-up will each receive a $7,500 check to be divided among band members. The winning band will receive a $10,000 check, an exclusive Gibson Guitar prize package and a Pearl drum kit valued at $12,000, a studio session with music industry veterans and a chance to walk the red carpet at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards.
