Of the hundreds of promotional material we received in our inbox, this one was by far different, very different (lol). Will it work? Who knows…

It immediately reminded us of Forrest Gump. There was a lot of that “life is a box of chocolates” philosophy in Ronnie Brown’s promotional pics and marketing.

Which results in all of it blending together and nothing promoted stands out.

Take a look for yourself at the new Forrest Gump with a southern durty durty twist.
