The U.S. government loosens up in a campaign to promote the new dollar coin
Article Abstract:
To promote the new, golden Sacagawea dollar coin, the U.S. Mint is relying on a clever campaign produced by Dan Rosenthal Company. Print and TV ads feature a hip, wry George Washington engaged in contemporary activities. The campaign's tone is breezy, light-hearted and upbeat--unlike most federal government ad campaigns--and uses humor to reach its target audience of urban and suburban consumers from age 18 to 49.
