Motorola One Ups Apple With Made in America Ad

While everyone is busy trashing Apple’s new “Designed by Apple in California” campaign, Droga5 is out with new work for Motorola that touts the brand’s new Moto X which is not just designed in America but also manufactured in America.

The print campaign hypes July 4th, American spirit, independence, freedom and, despite the challenge, the fact the phone will be designed, engineered and assembled in America. Which, if we were to nitpick, doesn’t really mean that each of the phone’s assembled components are actually all made in America.

But, hey, tomorrow’s July 4th and that means lots of food on the grill, delicious drink, time on the beach in the sun (finally) and boatloads of explosive fireworks. Oh, yea, and no work! So rather than nitpick, let’s just be happy the phone bbrand that used to be cool might actually be cool again.

Received Pronunciation, the accent linguists still nickname the Queen’s English, took shape inside a handful of England’s most expensive private schools, and it remains such a reliable marker of that background that a stranger can often place someone’s education within a single sentence.
