Blain's Black Friday Ad Novels & Stories

If I didn’t take proactive steps now, I would truly be the fool. I packed up all the designer stuff I’d been gifted over the years with the intention of selling everything, bit by bit, to make the money to pay back Raiden and continue ensuring my father’s safety. It didn’t matter, anyway. I told myself I wouldn’t actually need the apartment. That Mason would eventually come crawling back, realizing how good he had it. But that only happens in movies. This is no movie. *** The next day, Blake called me into her office. “I need you to assist with an ad shoot,” she said, barely looking up from her phone. “Urbanite is launching a new luxury campaign. It’s a big deal.”

Franklyn gulped and, with no choice, hopped into Adler’s luxurious Bugatti La Voiture Noire. "This feels like a dream... Damn, I’m traveling in a Bugatti La Voiture Noire," Franklyn muttered, lost in his thoughts. He wasn’t that impressed when he saw the Bugatti from the outside, but now that he was inside, the thrill of it all hit him. Adler, glancing at Franklyn, couldn't help but grin at how his younger companion was so taken with the ride. A small, satisfied grin appeared at the corner of Adler's lips as he enjoyed the moment.

It was war. A knock. Light, almost hesitant. A junior assistant slipped in, holding a tablet close to her chest. “Luna... I thought you should see this.” She handed it to me, her hands trembling, her face pale. I took it, eyes narrowing. A slick, black-and-gold advertisement bloomed on the screen. My heart pounded as I scrolled through the launch press release. Photos of bottles, eerily similar font. Even the tagline was a twisted echo of ours—“Rise with the moon.”

"That cute guy dared to fly down from such a high building. He must truly like her. She doesn’t agree and even gives him a cold shoulder. She’s so ungrateful." Jade was suddenly placed on a moral high ground. It seemed that not accepting Julian's confession was an unforgivable sin. She wanted to leave, but the crowd was packed so tightly that there was no way out. At that moment, a broadcast announcement suddenly echoed from the front, "Big sale at Best of Both Mall, everything 30% off. Hurry while stocks last." The news spread like wildfire through the crowd. Best of Both offered mid-range brands, ideal for most consumers.

Even the smallest oversight could potentially ruin all their efforts, something she refused to let happen. Managing a Black Friday campaign involved coordinating countless moving parts. She had to ensure smooth communication with brand suppliers, work closely with the design department on layout and aesthetics, and provide the product and technical teams with detailed requirements. She was also in constant communication with the customer service team, arranging schedules to ensure enough coverage for the inevitable spike in customer inquiries. Her phone rang incessantly, her fingers always ready to jot down notes or make adjustments to the campaign. She oversaw every stage—tracking supplier

“Serena, I know when you’re lying.” I swallowed hard and shook my head. “I’m fine, Adrien. Really. I… I just need some rest.” But he didn’t press further. Instead, he simply reached for the remote and switched on the TV. “Then maybe you’ll explain this.” The screen lit up with the familiar glow of a news channel. My chest tightened as I saw the headline running across the bottom: “Killian Blackwood’s FutureWear Dominates Market Amidst Competitor Launch.” The news anchor was animated, her voice showing excitement as she highlighted the flashy technology behind Killian’s product. Clips of influencers showing off glowing LED jackets filled the screen. They looked like something out of a sci-fi

Blush typically only gave their best customers a maximum ten percent discount. “I want this account, Adrienne. Their health clubs are booming and that’s the direction we want to go to. They will make us look good.” Adrienne stood up from her seat and turned to leave. “I’ll keep you posted.” She received a message from Justin as soon as she got back to her office. Justin: Dinner tonight, honey? She sighed glumly. She wants nothing more than spend the evening with him. She replied: Can’t. Working again. Meeting some advertisers at Lever Du Soleil. Jada’s job—assigned to me. Her punishment for me taking the day off yesterday.

“What?” Julian turned the screen. The hijacked MidnightViper page now had a new banner. A blurred, provocative image of the two of them from a promo shoot, spliced with a grainy still from one of their secret collab videos. Overlaid in sleek, professional font were the words: THE RIVALS - UNCENSORED. SUBSCRIBE FOR THE FULL STORY. “He’s… selling access?” Adrian felt the room tilt. This wasn’t just revenge. It was perverse entrepreneurship.

She just let me think she did. --- Around midnight, a new campaign went live. She hadn’t told me. She didn’t have to. It was everywhere—subway stations, Times Square, screens across every building. Aphrodite Sivan. Dressed in nothing but black velvet gloves, one heel slipping off her foot, eyes staring into the camera like she wanted to own your soul. The tagline? Fall, willingly. God help me, I already had. --- At 3:17 a.m., my phone buzzed.

And then laughing every time they fell. Adrian was next to her, indulging and handing her blocks. Making exaggerated surprised faces when the towers collapsed. I was on the couch watching them. Coffee in one hand, phone in the other. Another email from a brand. This one wanted Charlotte for a spring clothing campaign. The clothes were made from organic fabrics with sustainable manufacturing. Good money. Adrian looked up. "Another one?" "Another one." "What are they offering?" "Twenty thousand pounds for a half-day shoot. Plus clothes."
