Hope Of New FX Career Out Of The Window - Literally!

We live in a media-orientated, sophisticated, highly technology-reliant world these days. Or do we?

Captive Audience: FXTM Angles Unorthodox Recruitment Campaign
At Window Of Rival Firm

Quite how the effectiveness of this recruitment campaign will be measured could indeed be a conversation piece, when considering that being confronted with a young gentleman whose face is almost entirely obscured by a proliferation of adhesive notes may be equally dissuasive as it is intended to be persuasive.

Over and above this, perhaps the most outlandish facet of advertising ingenuity lies not with its content, but rather with its positioning, this photograph having been taken from within the offices of rival retail FX firm Easy Forex , therefore providing each employee of Easy Forex with this, er, tempting proposition every time eyes glance away from concentration on retail FX to glance at the otherwise sun-soaked Cyprus landscape.

Talk about dangling the carrot.
