Ian’s getting ready. Are you?
August 18 2010, 1:32 pm | | 44 Comments
AWARD’s call for entries launches today with a collaborative campaign known as ‘Ian’.
Ian is a man, and he’s also an idea being crafted from a first-thought into something good.
As you can see, he’s not yet ready for AWARD. But over the next few weeks and months, Ian will be tweaked, crafted and fiddled-with to make him the best he can be.
During the call for entries period and leading up to the event, Ian’s preparation journey will be shared via regular episodes uploaded to iansgettingready.com.
The first installment, ‘Dance Class’, will be released next week, and eight others will follow.
Anyone can help craft Ian by voting on the finer details of his personal grooming, attire and choice of escort for AWARD night, by visiting the website.

Funnier if he was standing there with a boner.
Awesome.
Awesome? Why? Because you worked on the campaign?
Do we get to chose where he gets his rack from?
Don’t mind it. bit of a ad wank
Smells like Mother New York’s idea for the band Devo.

This is genius. Does he work there?
Is Ian circumcised?
No modern man would ever dream of attending an Awards ceremony with a skivvy down his trousers.
Time for the chop Williamson.
love it.

I’m over seeing nerds with beards and slumped shoulders. Being going on for far too long. Not funny anymore.
The site is so good, you can actually make out individual hairs.
follow ian on grindr. haha love it
I like. Good fun. Cool site design. Ad wank awesomeness at it’s best.
Pants!
Vote for the boat shoes. Woo!
I quite like it.
I’m assuming there’s a female version still to come?
with you 3.30. Done to death for the past what, 10 years?
Is that Michael from FBI. I’m drunk but think it is. If not, sorry Mike. Or sorry not Mike guy.
jealous
ian needs some new undies.
Bless.
Look at all the little Mojo bods hyping where they’ve seeded the fucking thing.
Who writes things like “don’t mind it, bit of an ad wank” – it’s a call for entries to an award show for fucks sake – surely it’s a fitting place to do what we fucking like without clients saying stupid shit like – it’s a bit of an ad wank.
Fuck off to your own blog – you stupid cunt.
Yeah, totally thought of Chris Doyle’s Guidlines as well.
I do like it. the first teaser vid was great. should have waited a little longer before announcing it was for ‘award’. no enough build up if that’s what the aim was. My only issue is that it does remind of the Chris Doyle self promo thingy that did so well in Cannes, D&AD etc…. oh well
No more bearded nerds, PLEASE!!!
Ian you’re such a chop. Ask Lisa what this means. It’s south african.
I love it. And I love Ian.

7:13… You’re a champion.
@ 7:13PM.
Woah, slow down and chew your food. I think you’ll find the people saying it’s a bit of ad wank are saying they like it and like it for it’s wank factor. It certainly has itself in its own hand but thats the fun right. As you put it, if not for an award show call to entries then where? Have another read my precious little angry boy and cool your jets. Good passion from you though. Keep those fists up tiger. Keep em up.
Brilliant!
It’s designed to win awards. And win it will! I don’t want to like it, but I do! I’m sick to the stomach jealous that I didn’t come up with it. And who cares if inspiration came from Chris Doyle – if it in fact did. Champion effort, especially from the Chop.
I’ve usually got an online attention span of about 5 seconds – at most. But I just spent about 3 minutes crafting Ian. And I even spent 30 seconds writing this. Well done. Really nice.
Hope they did not spend any of my membership money on this crap.
3.06pm I’ll take a wild guess and state that you won’t be picking up anything at Award. This on the other hand, probably will. Go hate somewhere else.
Bit confusing that they are suggesting Ian start tweaking, crafting etc.
Does this mean that in order to enter, we should all give the actual ads that ran a bit of a tweak or a bit more crafting before we enter them to give them a better chance of success?
does anyone else find it a bit strange that you can enter an award entry concept to an award show?
well funny…
you people shit me.
Hide your kids, hide your wife…..Ian is coming.

Way too close to the Chris Doyle reference to be a coincadence. Way too close.
Shame.
