Want your brand to stand out and make an impression? Perhaps you should consider THIGHVERTISING.

Years ago, DDB Auckland was working with the apparel retailer Superette. The New Zealand-born organization boasts six retail locations and a thriving online store. They bill themselves as “a lifestyle destination to experience high-end design with an edge.”

Speaking of edges . . . the brand pioneered thighvertising and created quite a literal impression.

The campaign featured modified benches in Auckland. The raised letters pressed against a naked thigh read:

SHORT
SHORTS
FOR SALE
SUPERETTE

Big thanks to Danny Rosin and the team at Brand Fuel for putting this on my radar.

So, here is the question: Is this super marketing or a shortsighted gimmick?
