LONDON - Crispin Porter & Bogusky has put 40 of its interns up for auction on eBay.

Interested parties can bid for them, with all of the money going to the interns themselves to augment their wages.

At the time of writing, the bidding, which started at $1, stood at $4,250.

The winning bidder will receive a creative presentation from the intern, consisting of strategies, concepts and recommended brand positionings, but not finished ads or production materials.

However, competitors of CP&B clients such as Pizza Hut or McDonald's should not apply, as the small print states that the agency "reserves the right to decline services in the event of a conflict with any of our existing clients or for any other reason (like if you sell cigarettes) in our sole discretion".

CP+B are very cutting edge and creative. I love their work and hope to work for them in the near future. After 9 years in the customer side, I am ready to go back into the Ad/Mktg agencies. http://www.aircheese.com/article/brand-name-interns-the-new-prostitute
