DDB New York Gets A Little Uncomfortable for Cotton Inc.

By Erik Oster 

DDB New York launched a holiday spot for Cotton Inc., built around the premise that at least your clothes can be comfortable during all those uncomfortable holiday moments.

The spot is more-or-less a list calling out the standard awkward scenarios following a brief introduction presenting cotton as “The Comfortable Collection For Uncomfortable Holiday Moments.” These include the mid-30s man relegated to the kids table, mom having a bit too much eggnog, re-gifting fiascos, the burnt turkey and more.

While hardly a new insight, the approach does fit, since cotton’s main selling point is comfort and we’re at the point where most of us are anticipating some awkward family moments around the dinner table while simultaneously worrying about holiday shopping. Audiences should relate to the general theme, even if they’re unlikely to chuckle along.
