The Art Directors Club, to announce its 85th Call For Entries, has produced a promotional poster with the headline, “Pimp My Brand,” and an image of a guy in a pimped out Ronald McDonald in, perhaps, a nod to Miss McDonald or to the manipulation brands receive from consumers.

Acknowledging the growing involvement of consumers with brands, ADC Executive Director Laurie Kratochvil said, “Our ‘Pimp My Brand’ call for entries acknowledges the trend of makeovers and the resurgence in innovative packaging, design and marketing. It also recognizes the powerful role that advertising and design play in today’s media-centric life.”

Of course, time will tell how willing marketers will be when it comes to brand pimping.
