‘Jockey’ Celebrating 50 Years of Moon Landing…Nothing Fits Better!

During my visit to Vivira Mall, located in Navalur Chennai, I stumbled upon this ad in a Jockey showroom’s facade.

I immediately recollected a piece that I read a week ago in The Economic Times‘s Wednesday supplement, Brand Equity. The article contends that with Red Bull having made their brand’s voice heard all over the earth from stratosphere and Indian knitwear brand, Rupa mounting its flag on Mount Everest, all that’s left for brands is to plant their flags on the moon to break through the clutter. Also, the write-up states that one brand has come closer to one such marketing feat going by the brand’s claim on its official website. The brand is none other than the 143-year old American undergarment company, Jockey.

Here is what the company proclaims as one of its milestones of the 1960s in its website…

Due to Jockey’s unmatched reputation for quality and innovation, NASA commissioned Jockey to design undergarments for the first manned mission to the moon, Apollo 11. Jockey engineered & designed the product such that it would remain unaffected by gravity, and was worn by Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins.

Jockey commemorating 50 years of Moon Landing:

Now, we are in the 50th year since the landing of the spacecraft, Eagle on the moon on July 20, 1969, by the American crew comprising Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins. Hence, the American brief brand Jockey commemorated the historic moment by reminiscing its contribution towards the same by rolling out a campaign. The advertisement, which I noticed in the showroom’s frontage, is an offline leg of the drive.
