You don’t have to be a Brewers or Packers fan to enjoy the collision of metaphors in a new baseball advertising campaign.
The folks at 2-Story Creative in Milwaukee have called up the NFL’s Most Valuable Player Aaron Rogers to the pitcher’s mound. The result is a wonderfully enjoyable piece of communication that gains its power from the use of mixed metaphors.
Whether it’s baseball/football, ace/gun slinger, or wind-up/3-step drop, the collision of ideas forces the viewer to think and elaborate about America’s game and being in the stands.
That’s some heat. Now, pass the Secret Sauce.
Stand by...
