Explicit campaign for explicit movie

14 Mar 2007

Launching the explicit new movie Shortbus, morrisjones&co has come up with a copy-driven print campaign using headlines such as ‘read this you fag’ to make the film seem playfully exclusive to gay people.

Supporting it has been a dating video-style viral emailer, where the participant includes ‘being tied to a sink while being beaten with a whip’ to his “qualities”.

Copywriter Conan Green and designer Justin Reich explain, “We got all the sexual innuendos out first! The work had to suit the film’s tasteful sexiness.”
