ALO Audio: Boy Bands
Average: 3 (8 votes)

It makes all music sound incredible. Even boy bands.

The campaign strategy, summed up as “retro quality sound from modern electronics,” is to highlight the ALO’s old-fashioned, hi-fidelity manufacturing and sound standards. The advertising is in (4-color) black-and-white and features ’60s vintage typography.

Mildly fun - I get the message, but I think it could have been a bit sharper, both in visual (kinda cliche for music-gear) and copy.

Stick in a bottle of Jack Daniels and tweak the copy. Typography on brief but what's the idea? I thought it was an add for the headphones. Doesn't show the benefit which is? An even bigger smile on your face? Even greater, deeper esacpe? More real?
