In a bid to reach out to the cool young crowd, Wal-Mart utilized the hippest names in young Hollywood to promote the Brand Ocean Pacific (Op) spring/summer 2008 line. The line will launch next month exclusively in Wal-Mart stores and its online store.
The hip marketing campaign features seven rising Hollywood stars: Pete Wentz, Rumer Willis, Kristin Cavallari, Christina Milian, Josie Maran, Corbin Bleu and Wilmer Valderrama in a fun beach shoot. Photographer Larry Bartholomew shot the campaign at the Will Rogers State Park beach in Pacific Palisades, CA and Blue Cloud Ranch in Santa Clarita, CA.
The concept of the campaign is "OPen Road" and celebrates Op's historical open road California lifestyle, which the brand has represented since the original launch in 1972. The campaign will continue to follow the Op cast as they head into fall with a back to school campaign that will debut in August. The campaign has a classic Op feel with the celebrities hanging out at the beach, at a ghost-town ranch and hitting the "OPen Road" in a vintage VW bus. Bringing back Op's signature heritage pieces from the 70s, but with a younger, hipper flair, the seven celebrities showcase the collection in a variety of upbeat, light-hearted scenes. They form a human pyramid, ride bikes and skateboards and play in the surf. The on-set chemistry was infectious and all relished in their roles as California kids on a road trip, even riding in one trailer from set to set.
