“Duardo’s Brand,” which has a UGC feel to it (don’t tell Subway!) is Raging Artists’ attempt to (possibly) accomplish two things for its client:
1. Associate Arturo Fuente Cigars with the elite Cuban crowd through its choice of talent, Duardo Cantana
2. Put cigars back in the domestic space — into the mouths of men sitting around playing guitars, and men whose wives batter them senseless for smoking indoors
Or it might be an exercise in irony. Because it’s kind of “ha-ha, laugh with this artist who’s just like me and you” funny and sort of “ha-ha, laugh at this thrown together wannabe UGC crap” funny.
We don’t really know.
