As an unconventional promotion in early 2008, **Soho**, Colombia's sexiest magazine was dressed in leather by **Chevrolet** and ad agency [Sancho BBDO](http://www.sanchobbdo.com.co) who came up with the idea to dress the magazine in luxurious jacket.

The purpose was to let the 60,000 upper-class subscribers of the magazine know about a special edition Chevrolet [SUV](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/specialedition-suv) with black and red leather interior.

The packaging featured black and red leather cover and backside of the issue that was dubbed "a very sexy edition".

I absolutely love the novelty and applaud the attention to details of this promotion which was customized to maximum effect according to the target audience.
