Given the task of creating a fashion product, students from Atlanta’s Grady High School went the high-tech route. Their running jacket has a built-in cardio-measurement device.

To learn what goes into crafting a good ad, the 10-student team met WestWayne’s chief creative officer, Luke Sullivan, at the agency’s Atlanta offices to brainstorm ideas for their new brand, the Grady Smart Shirt.

Among the headlines that were considered: “For the long run,” “Don’t get run over by the competition” and “Why stay on track when you can go for the long run?”

The group finally settled on, “Now you actually can wear your heart on your sleeve,” to go alongside a stock photograph of a jogger on a trail.
