Naked Suits Menswear Launches NS Platinum Affiliate Program with Public Enemy Front Man Chuck D and DJ Remix Artist Mike Relm 

September 14th 2011 - Berkeley, CA - Naked Suits, America’s first premier performance menswear line, announced that they are launching the NS Platinum Affiliate Program with Public Enemy Front Man Chuck D and DJ Remix Artist Mike Relm.

“By launching the NS Platinum Affiliate Program with Chuck D and Mike Relm, we believe we can directly reach specific customer segments consistently and effectively using tools like Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube among others,”said Naked Suits Co-Founder Albert Shyy. “We believe that just as the old music world collapsed and went digital, fashion is following in the same transition. At Naked Suits, we plan to be on the front lines of that movement.”


Naked Suits offers tailored menswear that combine high performance and modern styling. Their wool suits are water resistant and hand tailored to fit like a second skin, with a floating canvas and a slim cut. The company’s Arctic dress shirt is made of non-see-through cotton mesh allowing the wearer to stay cool in hot and humid climates. Naked Suits was founded in 2010 by Albert Shyy and Ming Chang in Berkeley, California. Since its initial launch, Naked Suits has been attracting attention because of their products’function and fit. The company was recently featured in a business profile on NBC News, as a Thrillist Nation feature,and the cover of SF Chronicle Style section.

The NS Platinum Affiliate Program enables artists to connect Naked Suits with their fanbase across relevant digital and social media channels. By offering exclusive discounts and insider updates on Naked Suits, affiliates can engage followers and develop their relationship without compromising the integrity of the message, while allowing the company to access a targeted customer niche.


“Naked Suits combines two things I love, fashion and technology,”said Mike Relm. “Their suits feel amazing and nothing’s cooler than an Arctic Shirt.”Relm has toured the world with his live video mixes for Blue Man Group and Tony Hawk. He is also known for his innovative film and music video remixes on YouTube. Relm recently released a remix of comic Aziz Ansari as part of the affiliate relationship.


Details of Chuck D’s entry into the campaign will be released shortly, and promises to be ground-breaking.

Radio Shack wins with one line from Biz Markie

Radio Shack Ad feat. Biz Markie My friend Nasseam reminded me how cool this video was. Its a very simple clean (meaning not a lot of dramatic elements to the ad) by Radio Shack. The wisdom of this ad is that it used a one line sentence from an old school rap lyric to promote cameras. This was real genius. Its a funny, ad, they even used the rapper (Biz Markie) in it. If you don't know or remember the line, its from Just A Friend (it came out in 1989) and it pops up in the last verse. Two thumbs up for creativity and clear messaging on this one. I think its cool that the ad team understood what a huge hit the song was, how funny Biz is and how an old school rap song could be embraced by todays consumer.

Kia Motors Hits Hard With Hamsters

Kia Motors has been doing a lot to try and battle Scion for the young urban automotive market. Recently Kia came with this hamster campaign. Initially, I was not feeling it. I thought the first commercial (seen below) was paced way too slow. But I got the point. Kia Motors is not making cars for Gramps any more. This is for you (todays driver)! They make sure you see the iPod connected to the radio, speakers that light up etc.  But the NEW ad, the one up above, is fantastic. Paced well, shot well, they used a classic Hip-Hop by Black Sheep (The Choice is Yours)to keep the vibe poppin'. I can't imagine a young person who would see this and not want to drive a Kia (or at least consider it ).  For your listening pleasure, I have placed the original video of Black Sheep for your listening enjoyment. -Beyond Urban Branding beyondurban@gmail.com

Tech Week: The Wisdom of Serena Williams & HP

Beyond Urban Branding opens Tech Week with a true banger of an ad. We'll look at tech ads from time to time on our blog. But this week its gonna be all tech brands, all the time. We will begin with HP's ad featuring Serena Williams. When we did the first soft launch, we reviewed the precision HP crafted their ad with Jay-Z . It's easily one of my favorite tech ads. I actually feel like HP and a lot of other well done ads don't get their proper recognition because Apple gets so much props for their ads. OK, so this ad is actually better than the Jay-Z ad for one reason in particular. Strategic co-branding. In one commercial Serena craftily pitches, her video game (never played it but apparently shes got something going on with EA Sports) her designs with Nike and most importantly- her clothing line Aneres . Now, I don't know why or how Andre 3000 and Uno were able to get shout outs in the ad. Was she just giving them props or did somebody have to pay to get them i...
