CareerBuilder revealed the big winner in its HireMyTVAd contest by airing 27-year-old Matt Gahan‘s advertising idea during the second quarter of the Super Bowl Sunday evening.
This is CareerBuilder’s sixth time in the big game and the first time it put its advertising creative in the hands of consumers by hosting an online contest inviting people to create their own original TV ad idea.
Gahan’s “Casual Friday” idea was awarded $100,000 and a coveted spot during the most watched TV event of the year.
The 30-second spot explores the idea that some office workers indeed go too far on casual Friday, as Gahan’s idea features office workers of all shapes and sizes scurrying around the office in nothing but their underwear.
Gahan’s hilarious concept reflected the company’s signature use of humor during past big games and reinforced CareerBuilder’s tagline – START BUILDING.
“CareerBuilder has had a successful track record advertising during the last six big games and we are confident that Casual Friday will resonate well with this year’s audience,” said Richard Castellini, Chief Marketing Officer at CareerBuilder.
“We congratulate and thank Matt for his idea and are happy to be able to provide him a real-life advertising experience for his resume.”
Gahan, a surfing enthusiast and freelance video editor from San Clemente, CA, plans to use the prize money and experience to launch his own production company.
“This is truly the chance of a lifetime,” said Gahan. ”This windfall of cash really helps to jump start my career and allows me to pursue what I love to do.”

Whether you can or cannot avoid cataract surgery depends on how advanced your cataracts are and how able you are to put off the surgery while you see the results of natural approaches.The first step of natural cataract healing is that the decline in vision is slowed. If that is happening for you, then you are headed in the right direction. The next step is that the decline is stopped. The doctor who originally developed EYEMAX-plus suggested that at least 4-6 months was necessary to see that.
