Mike Rowe, star of the TV show "Dirty Jobs", has been hired to promote Lee Premium Select jeans in a new advertising campaign. The campaign aims to convince men that buying new clothes, even when the economy is weak, can help them attract positive attention without spending a lot of money. Rowe will appear in TV, print, and social media ads promoting the $42 jeans as a more affordable option than designer jeans. The campaign hopes to counter consumer skittishness by positioning the jeans as practical, everyday wear that makes the buyer feel confident at a reasonable price.
