SRC has also given a new meaning to the phrase "couch potato." As part of the first consumer directed campaign for Wear-DatedĘ fabrics, SRC created an ad that paints a different picture than the usual lazy person sprawled on a couch. The ad portrays a woman reading a magazine while lying on her sofa in an upscale, but comfortable family room. The ad is part of an integrated marketing campaign intended to broaden positioning of the Wear-Dated brand. Running in various consumer publications, it is specifically targeted at women ages 35-54 who value comfort and style more than price. The following people contributed to the Wear-Dated campaign: Brett Compton, Copywriter; Bart Cleveland, Creative Director; Sheri Sorrell and Steve Warner, Account Supervisors; Dave Rooney and Greg Smith, Production Directors; and Elizabeth Belcher and Lynee Queen, Media.
