Watch the spot
A follow-up to -- and brand extension of -- GripGo (a 2013 True Top Spender), this project seeks to challenge my No. 1 bad category for DRTV and defy the history of similar solutions (e.g. Book Genie, Happy Sack, Stick Stand). The one thing it has going for it: The miracle of sticky silicone, which has fueled the success of several hits besides its predecessor (see Ruggies, Schticky).
S7 Analysis: Phone and tablet accessories top my list of bad categories because of a combination of the target/needed shortcomings. That is, because the DRTV buyer tends to be older, and thus less into tech, commercials have trouble finding the right audience and articulating a problem that resonates.
