Manufacturing is a key sector of the economy, and with all the manufacturing jobs shipped overseas in the last decade, American companies are falling all over themselves to appear as American, and as industrial, as possible.
Now, it’s Carhartt’s turn:
This ad from Team Detroit doesn’t do a lot for the brand, in my opinion. Carhartt already owns the blue collar market, and the men and women who buy Carhartt are making their decisions on the job and at retail.
Does this garment serve me well? Does it fit and will it last? Those are the questions Carhartt buyers want answered.
Plus, all these tight shots of hooks, and molten metal are growing tiresome. The American worker doesn’t go to work everyday in a cinema noir landscape. Can we let the freaking sun in, please?
