Brand X: The Boyfriend Account

(4) YA High school junior Jordie learns more than marketing techniques during her internship at a small, quirky advertising agency. Jordie's colleagues--the "creatives"--help her put together a sixteen-step ad campaign to successfully sell herself to school heartthrob Vaughan. The office setting provides a twist on familiar scenarios, although some scenes (for example, a company outing to Victoria's Secret) are cartoonishly over-the-top.
