Fallon New York launched what appears to be its debut campaign for Würkin Stiffs, a collar stay company which appeared on Shark Tank,
“That 70s Collar” implores viewers to “Get The Funk Out of Your Collar” with its Power Stay product.
The spot is built around the idea that collars gone astray make you look like you’re straight out of Saturday Night Fever. And nobody wants that, right?
“That 70s Collar” opens on an employee sitting at his cubicle when a voice out of nowhere asks him why his shirt is so funky, accompanied by a sudden disco beat.
Luckily, a coworker is there to save him from the disco voices, though, by introducing him to Würkin Stiffs’s Power Stay product, which can help him fix his collar, in turn making the voices “die, just like disco.”
The dry humor and 70s mocking make for an appropriate approach to promote what can’t be an easy product to advertise and a smooth transition into the “Get The Funk Out of Your Collar.”
Another spot, “Take The Creepy Out of Your Collar” compares loose collars to another unwanted look. It offers up Power Stays as a way to lose the “Dracula vibes,” which may attract unwanted attention from vampires. That comparison seems like a bit more of a stretch, though.
