‘Show us your scars’: Ugly debuts with a skating and surfing fail compilation for Ozmosis
Creative agency Ugly has released its first work since launching in April for surf and skate brand Ozmosis, compiling a mixture of surfing and skating fails with the tag line, “Show us your scars.”
The 30 second compilation features various surfing and skateboard accidents coupled with Ozmosis offering exclusive deals to anyone showing a scrape, bruise of scar to their store staff.
Australians can also upload a photo to social media with the hashtag #PayWithPain.
McCreadie said the campaign is more than just a promotion, it is a “philosophy about life”.
“To connect with this audience we had to be real. Really real. You can’t just talk to this generation in the language of advertising, and expect them to do anything, it doesn’t work,” he said.
Klonhammer said: “Behind every brave campaign is a brave client. The retail environment is becoming an increasingly tough nut to crack, so it’s inspiring to see brands like Ozmosis shake things up.”

I think these guys need to look at where sports marketing has been and where it’s going. Under Armour is a great example. Montage’s of sporting fails off the internet is not brave – just an over used, stereotypical insight. What a planning and strategy epic fail. And a client paid for this is – #epicfail. This comment right here had me in stitches though ‘we had to be real. Really real.’

All good stuff – shows accidents happen and perhaps some can learn lessons just from watching. . I hope no-one was seriously hurt or took a deliberate fall just to get some footage for this.
I’m too old to skateboard now but I do have some scars from long ago.
