AsSeenOnTV.pro and Kevin Harrington Join Forces with Live Fire Gear to feature EJ “Skullcrusher” Snyder in National Ad Campaign
CORAL SPRINGS, FL (PRWEB) JUNE 01, 2017
Kevin Harrington (one of the original Sharks on Shark Tank) and the Product Managers of AsSeenOnTV.pro are thrilled to announce a new DRTV campaign with Live Fire Gear LLC featuring EJ Snyder from Naked and Afraid.
After setting the fire starter world ablaze with the Live Fire Original—the only fire starter that’s 100% waterproof, reusable, and burns for over 30 minutes—Live Fire Gear soon caught the attention of Kevin Harrington’s team at AsSeenOnTV.pro. By mid-2016, production began on what was to be a straightforward DRTV commercial. However, the original concept was quickly scrapped with the exciting news that EJ “Skullcrusher” Snyder had partnered with Live Fire, and would be starring in the ads.
Fans of the popular Discovery Channel series Naked and Afraid and Dual Survival will remember EJ as the extreme survivalist and Army vet who tamed the wild with his signature battle cry. Now, in the new action-packed ads, EJ will once again find himself stranded alone in the wilderness, this time armed only with Live Fire Gear.
“This isn’t going to be a boring how-to commercial,” proclaimed Luke McConnell, Owner of Live Fire Gear LLC. “EJ was in a Florida swamp, built an amazing shelter, and trekked through the woods. He is a true survival expert.”
In the next chapter of Live Fire’s continuing success story, McConnell then met with Harrington and his Advisory Board at AsSeenOnTV.pro’s quarterly Innovator’s Think Tank in February 2017. It was there the Board teamed Live Fire up with fellow AsSeenOnTV.pro participant Catastrophe Candles to provide more cost-effective, better quality manufacturing. As a result, Live Fire Gear and Catastrophe Candles have struck a licensing arrangement for potential big-box retail.
“Live Fire Gear couldn’t say enough how impressed they were with our team,” confirmed Douglas Scott, Executive Producer at AsSeenOnTV.pro. “They have actually submitted another product to be evaluated for DRTV. That’s what we call building brand equity, taking a company to the next level, and creating long-lasting professional relationships!”
As part of Live Fire’s DRTV campaign with AsSeenOnTV.pro, EJ will be starring in :30 and :60 spots set to air nationwide, and feature the original Shark himself—Kevin Harrington. AsSeenOnTV.pro is comprised of an award-winning team of producers, writers, videographers, and editors as well as industry veterans dedicated to finding the latest, most innovative products and ideas, and putting them on the DRTV map.
