FOR BLUE-COLLAR SAILING FANS

Leaders from Glossier, Shopify, Mastercard and more will take the stage at Brandweek to share what strategies set them apart and how they incorporate the most valued emerging trends. Register to join us this September 23–26 in Phoenix, Arizona.

“The working class of sailing.”

That’s how Hill, Holliday, Connors, Cosmopulos portrays the no-frills racing boats of the International 110 Class Association in a new pro bono campaign.

The print effort was created by 110 Class enthusiast Joe Berkeley, senior vice president and group creative director at the Boston agency.

Berkeley’s mission is to promote a wider interest in the boats. The vessels sell for $20,000, though previously owned models can be had for as little as $2,000.

One execution depicts an exchange between an upscale couple on an expensive yacht: “Honey, what are the ugly people doing today?” … “They’re sailing 110s.”

Another effort features a dramatic shot of a crew guiding a sailboat through choppy seas.
