Who is The Apple Boy?
March 22 2010, 10:33 am | | 21 Comments
22 year old Hipolito Giminez Blanco, known as ‘Tito’, is from Argentina, arriving in New Zealand in November to continue his advertising career.
After a few kilometers walking through different agencies he decided to go to the farms to work. With this experience, then talking with his partner in Buenos Aires, they thought of the idea of showing his professional skills in an alternative way.
Says Tito: “We created The Apple Boy.Since launching, the campaign has gone viral around the world, and I’vereceived different support from Europe, USA, Asia and South America.
“I then went to different NZ agencies delivering an apple with a sticker inviting creative directors to check out the apple boy website.”

Like the idea.
But with English/spelling like that I hope he’s an Art Director.
We got one of his apples into our office – good on him and I hope he gets a great job for the work he’s putting in
Awesome website but from what I’ve heard the whoel ordeal is a tad misleading. The design work is incredible – but Apple Boy is a project manager, not a designer.
It would make more sense to me if the website itself was a part of a portfolio; but if it gets a foot in the door then always a good start. 🙂
I most say great looking site, but I must ask how come he doesn’t have his portfolio on his site? plus he really should check his “England” on his site. Good luck mate
12.22 you should check yours first LOL
no cv no job – I’d buy a jacket, it will be cold picking apples in the nz winter
site looks average….good luck ‘istockboy’
We got an apple from him too. I thought it was pretty cool until it drank all my tequila.
a website with an unengaging video….I know just the agency for you!
All envious people here.
The idea and the site is great. Well done!
Envy?
I’d call them tossers!
Good on you! And awesome that it is a SUIT who is showing a bit of creativity.. hopefully an agency will see his efforts and put him in a job…. !!!!!!! Good on you apple boy!
I wonder how many of those “creative” commenters have ever applied to a job in such an impressive way. Talk about “marketing yourself”.
Christ people, for a 22 year old it’s fantastic. Some people on here are real fuckers.
After seeing what sort of dickheads we have from the the comments of 11.49, 5.47, 5.51 and 6.34, he won’t want a job here.
Yeah, I’ll put him in a job alright…
Hope he likes Debbie Harry and leopardskin.
‘starting his new life at new zealand’, I like him already.
Geez guys, are we all that bitter and twisted that we’ll knock a young guy trying to have a go. Give the guy some credit, I’d like to see you go across to Argentina and create a website. This blog makes me embrassed. Good luck Tito, I hope you get a job and prove these f&@kwits wrong.
Bloody good on him. We need more of his kind.
at least it’s not another pom
Hipolito.
Awesome name.
