Monster and Shorn Entertainment have launched a casting call for Cube Fabulous, an office makeover show. Workers can apply to appear in an upcoming episode of Cube Fabulous by applying on the Cube Casting Couch website set up by Monster.
Beginning Labor Day (September 4, 2006), workers can submit an application to be cast in an upcoming Cube Fabulous episode by visiting the online "Cube Casting Couch" - powered by Monster - located at the co-branded microsite www.cubefabulous.monster.com. In addition to submitting a workspace photo and optional video, interested participants must complete a personal "Cube Profile," which asks a range of questions including the three things they can't live without, how co-workers would describe them and what their fantasy job entails. Those entering also have an opportunity to "sell" their submission in a 100-word essay explaining why they should be chosen. The Cube Fabulous season two premiere episode will air online in mid-October; subsequent shows will air every two weeks following.
"Cube Fabulous appeals to young professionals in an entertaining, light-hearted way by bringing edgy home makeovers to the workplace. One by one, the team will revitalize drab cubes or office space where many people spend more waking hours than anywhere else each day," said Diana Nicholson, Senior Vice President, Consumer Products, Monster. "Our relationship with Cube Fabulous also represents Monster's entry into broadband video, allowing us to reach a large audience and key demographics with creative work-related programming."
"Shorn Entertainment took an irreverent and fast-paced approach to the makeover genre which really struck a nerve with our audience of 21-34 year old cube dwellers seeking an entertainment escape." said J. Scott Berman, Creator of Cube Fabulous and Founder/CEO of Shorn Entertainment. "Cube Fabulous taps the emerging office lifestyle of a new generation of professionals looking to express themselves at work. We'll continue to capture a fresh perspective on work life in Season two by making over both traditional and non-traditional work environments."
If you have a boring or messy cube this might be a good opportunity to get it fixed up. You can also see some webisodes from the new Cube Fabulous show here.
