Don't worry gents: Orbitz thinks you look great in that skirt.

Along with its website redesign, the online travel agency is out with a new campaign encouraging all Americans to "Take vacation back"—by actually using all those days off you've earned grinding away at your jobs with single-minded puritanical devotion. Created by BBDO New York, the central spot marks a new positioning for the brand, shedding the old, fast-talking, slapstick sales pitch pushing its intimate knowledge of hotels for an rallying anthem urging more time in the sun—by the pool, on the golf course—or shacked up with your sweetheart in your luxe suite.
