"Trade Ad, Peetz Fishing Reels"


Marketing Parameters/ Creative Solution

Created by a Russian-born silversmith with an ongoing love of the sea, the Peetz reel was heavily branded in the Canadian marketplace, as a North American classic. This USA product introduction was intended to showcase the artistry and simplicity of Peetz reels, in direct opposition to the high-tech fishing gadgetry touted within the same trade magazines. The storytale approach translated well into radio, as well as product enclosure tags that detailed the reel's fabled beginnings and richness in sporting history.
