Anyone ever done anything poncy and new-media-y in place of the traditional CV+cover letter for a job application?

Smee [Edit] [Delete] 09:57, 9 November '15

I'm applying for this job as a part time marketing person for this cool arts organisation. Was thinking of making some kind of online prezi or something, using all of their branding and stuff, to showcase my skills rather than just writing it out in the normal fashion.

a) Has anyone ever done this? Got any good ideas for the format or any good online platforms that could be used for this purpose? (I have OK wordpress, Illustrator and Photoshop skills)

b) If you were doing this would you also do a CV and covering letter in case it just made their life difficult trying to compare and assess them? Or maybe try just to do a poncey CV instead of going nuts?
