Their big new fashion marketing effort created in conjunction with Minnesota based <a href="http://www.pmhadv.com/">Peterson Milla Hooks,</a> "Money Can't Buy Style," is complete with new logo, a new attitude, new music and <a href="http://fashionblog.kmart.com/">a new blog</a>.<br /><br /><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/3ouysp8B4so?rel=0" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="328" width="530"></iframe><br /><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/8ilzYQWp00Q?rel=0" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="328" width="530"></iframe><br /><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/gjYX2GRJrPk?rel=0" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="328" width="530"></iframe><br /><br />Debuting in the fall of 2011, the new campaign is aimed at empowering customers to embrace their individualism when approaching fashion. Rather than focusing on brand names or even trends, the ads will emphasize self-expression in fashion by featuring real people in Kmart looks they've created themselves.<br /><br /><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/VCqcWcJdDDc?rel=0" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="328" width="530"></iframe><br /><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/YedIhba6sGU?rel=0" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="328" width="530"></iframe><br /><br />The series of digital spots created for the web range from 6 seconds to a minute and invite people to "show us what you got" and will include 20 real people in a variety of pieces from the fall 2011 Kmart collections, selected and styled by each individual. The Kmart team spent three weeks hitting the streets across the country to find real people who reveled in their individual style and brought it to life in incredibly unique ways.<br /><br /><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/r9jocvjzW8E?rel=0" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="328" width="530"></iframe><br /><br />"Our goal is to get people to look at Kmart apparel differently," said Tara Poseley, president of Apparel at Kmart. "We took a fresh approach in our campaign with a message that truly embodies what Kmart does best -- making the aspirational attainable. We have great fashion that we're not getting credit for today. We hope the campaign will get people to consider us for what is a very compelling brand portfolio."<br /><br />When it came time to shoot the campaign, the creative team wanted to ensure a casual, upbeat atmosphere where everyone could feel at ease and comfortable in letting their style shine through. Each look was shot privately with the talent and photographer only for enhanced intimacy. As is typical in fashion shoots, surround sound music was blasted throughout the sessions to create a high-energy environment that kept participants energized throughout the day. Authenticity was essential: to capture the true essence of each participant, and encourage him or her to be both spontaneous and natural in their self-expression, the photographer asked fun and unconventional questions. The end result was a series of genuine responses and expressions captured on film.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgLTcANXmNfur_J9IcL6UCPrrr5RrPb38xaS3DcNuhvfTJk8mJneogTVTaWSZK2dKVQ9VCChU9djtmeS3b4aUpjJes1Ftu2DH6lm2uxIhqyheEO0npV3JeF1KtykqAiduSjA7Sy3hXLE3-/s1600/kmart-money-cant-buy-style.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5650826334899086258" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgLTcANXmNfur_J9IcL6UCPrrr5RrPb38xaS3DcNuhvfTJk8mJneogTVTaWSZK2dKVQ9VCChU9djtmeS3b4aUpjJes1Ftu2DH6lm2uxIhqyheEO0npV3JeF1KtykqAiduSjA7Sy3hXLE3-/s400/kmart-money-cant-buy-style.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 528px; height: 608px;" /></a><br /><br />"Our new campaign is a disruptive break from fashion advertising clutter," said Robin Creen, chief marketing officer of Apparel at Kmart. "It truly hits the mark in conveying how fun and accessible fashion can be, by capturing the essence of real people who know how to put it all together."<br /><br />In addition to highlighting the true style of everyday people and the attainability of great fashion, the campaign is designed to convey the insignificance of money in making a statement. With new brands and a new approach to style, Kmart hopes its accessible fashion environment will also excite the senses and inspire unique, personal style through mixing and matching.<br /><br />The new campaign will launch in September with an assortment of print, digital and outdoor advertising.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/KmartFashion#g/c/5DB28CC38638D5FB">You can see all of the "Money Can't Buy Style" Kmart spots here</a>

They raised crops and livestock so plentifully, they outproduced all the other farms in the colony. Soon, people began to realize that the spring that watered their land was the sweetest and purest in the area and was thought to be the source of their success.<br /><br /><br /><br />A jealous neighbor schemed to divert their water to his own property. Stealing onto their land one bitterly cold winter night, he was confronted by the farm’s owner, known only as Tobias. The neighbor struck him with his shovel, knocking him unconscious into a pond near the mouth of the spring. The water thief completed his work, diverting some of the spring’s output to his property by means of the underground channel he dug.<br /><br /><br /><br />Tobias’s body was later discovered in the ice that froze the pond deep on that frigid winter night.<br /><br /><br /><br />No one knew how he died. The secret was safe until the neighbor began to report a strange presence of Tobias that haunted his every step. A presence that ultimately drove him mad. He confessed everything as he was driven in a prison cart to the colony’s sanitarium.<br /><br /><br /><br />The farm has changed hands many times over the centuries, and now that same spring’s water is used to produce Frozen Ghost Vodka. That pure water gives Frozen Ghost its unparalleled smooth, crisp character, even before it is distilled six times for the ultimate purity.<br /><br /><br /><br />We won’t reveal the spring’s location for your own protection. For on the rare occasions that a visitor has attempted to approach the site, an undeniable chill overtakes the stranger, along with a dark foreboding that a more dangerous fate quickly approaches. It is said that Tobias is still keeping watch over his spring.<br /><br /><br /><br />So don’t let your curiosity overtake you and tempt you to search for the water’s source. Just be satisfied that you can raise a glass to the one who is watching over the pure taste of Frozen Ghost Vodka, the supernatural super-premium.<br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The commercial running in theaters:</span><br /><br /><iframe src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/jfItaYlGGmA?rel=0" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="427" width="530"></iframe><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Bottle:</span><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEPlgh2JA5QTF1p9-8iIEQpt8k2Z5LMd668B32bdRVWhCD1pqZ0a8C75mPI9oIELZop5oeNY69fzlmql1AL2UacRYlvW7SDJryA-3aTCKMX9YZEpdjcH3lst7s9bYLFS6M5ONSmmtamKve/s1600/iihih+frozen-ghost-vodka.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5646864992476851202" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEPlgh2JA5QTF1p9-8iIEQpt8k2Z5LMd668B32bdRVWhCD1pqZ0a8C75mPI9oIELZop5oeNY69fzlmql1AL2UacRYlvW7SDJryA-3aTCKMX9YZEpdjcH3lst7s9bYLFS6M5ONSmmtamKve/s400/iihih+frozen-ghost-vodka.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 392px;" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkOAShqdUCaL0mmVS8JuvZkcwQk3Oe4RelY-ITTlSlHhTzorXqf5WFEbudkNpKtE1kY_xjZYzDmVYifSZscnFnbxy70yy_sqpyCTXR7JWQlkjOjiKshPpdCjZv4Hbts9vJBbegeYsW4jb4/s1600/iihih+frozen-ghost-vodka2.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5646864879621399426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkOAShqdUCaL0mmVS8JuvZkcwQk3Oe4RelY-ITTlSlHhTzorXqf5WFEbudkNpKtE1kY_xjZYzDmVYifSZscnFnbxy70yy_sqpyCTXR7JWQlkjOjiKshPpdCjZv4Hbts9vJBbegeYsW4jb4/s400/iihih+frozen-ghost-vodka2.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 262px; height: 392px;" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJVaqSjwjMImla9lps7OI2eujHQpZycqu25nrRptBHuoxDEdX-6lCl84gh-fLkf_0-b51w68mq8PMAGz0TaGkF5eTPGQGAp-3NxB6CcNnxVIG489gT_STpuzkxs5B3mjMNt70TPUvo3LUc/s1600/Screen+shot+2011-08-30+at+9.01.27+PM.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5646865482004287778" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJVaqSjwjMImla9lps7OI2eujHQpZycqu25nrRptBHuoxDEdX-6lCl84gh-fLkf_0-b51w68mq8PMAGz0TaGkF5eTPGQGAp-3NxB6CcNnxVIG489gT_STpuzkxs5B3mjMNt70TPUvo3LUc/s400/Screen+shot+2011-08-30+at+9.01.27+PM.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 526px; height: 578px;" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLC5kHZTgxGGGDMVJvP_T_uvtdsfPVSYF9qaxizJHAIsfMnyuwKy0seLNpJ_cSyBD7cqzqfSGlCZX5898iYclfD5l_yKf24qgg0ZRqgj1MYNUGEpHl5RrRBtDXbv4EoBuxwjG7rOtvhG5G/s1600/Screen+shot+2011-08-30+at+9.01.08+PM.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5646865871391087474" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLC5kHZTgxGGGDMVJvP_T_uvtdsfPVSYF9qaxizJHAIsfMnyuwKy0seLNpJ_cSyBD7cqzqfSGlCZX5898iYclfD5l_yKf24qgg0ZRqgj1MYNUGEpHl5RrRBtDXbv4EoBuxwjG7rOtvhG5G/s400/Screen+shot+2011-08-30+at+9.01.08+PM.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 527px; height: 512px;" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhItPcEGTBkEK1xkznPs7XSKS-MdplPJr0A2AnbjSJQcCNWvWLcDwIj0QgQfZDD5WAw4V9zkIN_zvvL2Ux5xoBUDjV2c-z-jeT4KmGVTOJh0KvHb1tVLj6rDHSKL6UL6o1jkn4O5Tg2GcN_/s1600/Screen+shot+2011-08-30+at+9.01.19+PM.png"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5646865670172715794" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhItPcEGTBkEK1xkznPs7XSKS-MdplPJr0A2AnbjSJQcCNWvWLcDwIj0QgQfZDD5WAw4V9zkIN_zvvL2Ux5xoBUDjV2c-z-jeT4KmGVTOJh0KvHb1tVLj6rDHSKL6UL6o1jkn4O5Tg2GcN_/s400/Screen+shot+2011-08-30+at+9.01.19+PM.png" style="cursor: pointer; width: 526px; height: 437px;" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Credits: Creative Director: Richard Graves ; Designer/Art Director: Chuck Paris ; Black and white photos: Butch Hale, Dallas, Texas ; Client: Frozen Ghost Distilling Company</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">The Marketing:</span><br /><br />Dallas agency Levenson & Hill invented the legend based on the life—and afterlife—of a character named Tobias.
