Wanted: Cat video technologist (Picture: Twitter / @TaylorHerringPR)

If videos of cute cats doing adorable things on YouTube are your sort of thing then this could be the job for you.

A PR agency has launched a viral campaign to find a ‘cat video technologist’ to work for its social media creation team.

Taylor Herring PR created the spoof newspaper advert to promote the job vacancy before posting the image on Twitter.

And while the newspaper advert may not be entirely genuine, the job most certainly is.


‘We designed it to look like a print ad… because we knew that would help it go viral on Twitter,’ PR guru James Herring told Business Insider.

‘It’s an ad for people that want to make viral content for us… we thought that would be the best format.’



The advert explains: ‘Do you know why Ryan Gosling won’t eat his breakfast, or why Tom Selleck just can’t get enough of waterfalls or sandwiches?’ the advert asks.

‘Can you spot the next breaking meme before the world wakes up? [We] are seeking a new member to join [our] rapidly expanding team.’

Potential candidates must send their CV along with a six-second Vine video to the PR agency by June 21.
