We have seen many zombie-related innovations at Trend Hunter over the last months, and now we’re seeing Eastpak right on board with that trend; in fact, they’ve been using zombies for a few years in they’re campaigns.
To crank it up a notch this year, Eastpak came out with the Zed and The Party-Belt campaign in which Zombie Zed is featured traveling from town to town with his own multifunctional Party-Belt.
Zed has a website, a facebook account and he is twittering as well as performing around Europe, singing own songs. Could Zed be the first Zombie Rockstar of web 2.0?
