I never heard of Akademiks till I wondered into D.E.M.O. clothing store in the mall, now I advertise for them for free. I think its great for a clothingline to diversify, as business owners you have too, if you want to stay innovative. I lub it:) where can I get mine, so I can rep my area code & SXSW!!!

Every product that you can name whether it be food and beverage...to clothing there will always be a marketing strategy or tactic that'll capture the consumers interest. Postive or Negative...You are entitled to your opinion. You may not be that target consumer, yet the ad. still has served its purpose because it caused you to "react".
