Overview

In the Fall of 2018, Client Y was launched with the goal of providing sock sizes for men and women that are the exact size of your feet via the direct to consumer marketplace. The challenge was to start before the Christmas season with no other media airing except radio in New York and nationally on SiriusXM satellite radio. The local radio in NY was focused on live-read endorsements on WFAN-AM (Sports) and WEPN-FM(Sports) with 2 of the most recognizable on-air talents in Boomer Esiason & Michael Kay. Each campaign also had recorded spots to air throughout the day featuring both founders. In addition, the founder spots aired on Sirius XM satellite radio.
