Transcript excerpt

Designing cool shit for Cracker Barrel. I would do a whole new campaign and merch collection because whatever this is is not working. I'd start by making this wanted poster of the man in the old logo. I'd put it on a tier shirt and a rank, run this boring ad of the new logo, and plaster the wanted poster over it. I'd do this hoodie with the character of the old logo, these trucker hats, duffel bag that looks like a barrel, the matching tote. I'd then start running this billboard for Have You Seen This Rank? Release the matching yellow hoodie, a trucker hat, and a bumper sticker for your truck. I would then reveal that our man's been on vacation with a vacation tier shirt that says, sorry, I'm out of office, the barrel swimsuit, yellow towel with the original logo, barrel pool floaties, and the barrel bikini. Cracker Barrel, let me fix your problem.
