Division of Labor Offers to Buy Flip Cameras

By Bob Marshall 

To top off your Friday and send you out into the cold, dark weekend, we’re turning the floor over to the folks at SF-based shop Division of Labor.

If you recall, Division of Labor stirred a bit of a reaction last month with its “storefront” advertisements. Well, this time around, the agency is trying to do a “good deed” and offering to take the recently orphaned Flip Camera brand into its warm embrace. In a move that shocked the masses, parent company Cisco announced it was doing away with Flip as part of a company restructuring that is ditching its attention toward consumer products.

In a blog post on Division and Labor’s website, a Craigslist ad for the company is followed by a plea from the shop that reads, “Cisco, if you don’t want it, can we have it? Seriously. We’ll buy it. You’re just gonna trash it. Let us have a go at it. Our number is 415-944-8185. Call us and we’ll figure something out.” You move, Cisco.
