That’s all folks…

So that is that… 50 days, 9 countries, 23 flights, 13 hotels and one incident of lost luggage has come to an unfortunate end for ‘The Ultimate Job Interview’ brought to you by adidas Golf and COOLMAX Brand. As I start to write my final blog in London Heathrow Airport awaiting my final flight back home fond memories which I will cherish forever flow through my mind which was spent with Chris, Steve and the WITW Team.

It is as if it was only yesterday that I met the guys in Nurnberg for the start of this epic adventure where two US Citizens would be put through their paces head-to-head in competing for a job with adidas Golf USA as the newest addition to the Team- Social Media Catalyst.

The result is out and it has been decided that Steve is the winner of the adidas Wear In The World campaign. Congratulations on a job well done over the last 50 days and I personally wish you all of the best with your new position as Social Media Catalyst at adidas Headquarters in Carlsbad. Not too bad for a guy from Wisconsin, Go Packers! ! !

Congratulations must also go out to Chris on a fine performance, he definitely threw himself out there tackling everything that came his way head on. He poured his heart into the campaign, giving it his all and I take my hat off to you for your dedication and I am sure many opportunities will come your way in the near future.

With spending every second with the Team over the last 50 days getting to know each other was a great pleasure, one of the greatest things I have taken away from this experience is the friendships I have made, especially with Chris, Steve, Jeff and Aaron S. It was an absolute pleasure working with all of you and I look forward to the reunion we will be having (I suggest Whistler)

Many thanks needs to go out especially to the following:

adidas Golf USA for coming up with the campaign and putting everything together, especially to Mark Elder, Angeline Merlitti and our hosts in every country. Thank you and congratulations for all of your hard work, it really is appreciated.

The main sponsor, COOLMAX Brands, who contributed towards making this campaign possible. Your products found in the adidas Apparel (CoolMax Technologies) are truly one of a kind which we had the privilege of testing out in some harsh conditions. At every hurdle we were faced CoolMax Technologies defeated the elements on every occasion.

Jeff Dolen and Aaron Schnobrich for your time and effort put in filming during the day and editing in the evening, day after day and posting such great footage for the world to view every morning (editing usually took place between 7pm and 3am every day).

And lastly I would like to thank you, the WITW follower, for joining us during our travels over the last 50 days. Your support and messages helped during the toughest of times, especially when one was having a bad day it was revitalizing reading your kind words.

Well I hope you all enjoyed following us as much as we enjoyed putting everything together. I am signing out for the last time from home in Cape Town, South Africa.

Until next time…

Aaron Russell
