Octagon Global Recruiting will be at Comic-Con in San Diego

When I first heard the announcement of a new viral campaign for the show Lost, I was intrigued and despite my usual lack of participation in these things, I got involved this time.

If you forgot what happened, this commercial aired during the season finale of Lost a few weeks back:

I hit the Octagon Global Recruiting website, entered my email and waited to see what happened. Meanwhile, “keen” observers (mainly, not me) realized the dates that OGR would be in San Diego corresponded with Comic-Con, and that it was obviously a viral marketing ploy.

Well, yesterday I got an email with a bit more information about OGR and the confirmation that they WILL be appearing at San Diego’s Comic-Con:

Octagon Global Recruiting, on behalf of the Dharma Initiative, would like to thank you for registering your expression of interest in our latest volunteer recruitment drive.

We will be launching in San Diego on July 24th at Comic-Con International offering select registrants the opportunity to take an exciting aptitude test that will give applicants the chance to demonstrate their unique talents.

The Dharma Initiative hopes you will be able to join us to find out more about their ground-breaking new research project. We will contact you closer to the date with more information.

For those not able to join us in San Diego, Dharma’s full recruitment program will be made available online to registered recruits after July 27th.

In the meantime, the Dharma Initiative urges you to spread the word. Invite your colleagues to join the team at www.octagonglobalrecruiting.com and take part in this once in a lifetime opportunity.

So there you have it. The lucky people to be at Comic-Con on July 24th will be the first to take some sort of aptitude test, and what it entails is anyone’s guess.

As I said before, I’m hoping to take a long road trip to San Diego that week, maybe Friday, so if that does happen, expect a report.
