B1A4 chosen as PUMA's brand icons
Sports lifestyle brand PUMA has selected the "idol group of the masses" B1A4 as the icons of their 2013 PUMA Social Campaign. The group will take on the role of communication messengers between PUMA and their young customers during the Spring/Summer 2013 season. A brand representative stated that their new brand icon B1A4's distinctive vibrant energy and sense of freshness fit the brand's products and image perfectly. When the group members posted pictures from the shooting of their PUMA TV commercial on Twitter a few days ago, many fans were excited as the pictures displayed a new charming side of the group.
In preparation for the release of their new album in March B1A4 are scheduled to take part in various campaign activities for PUMA and can be seen in their PUMA TV commercial from March. Lee Jung Hee, the director of the lifestyle marketing team at PUMA Korea, said they chose B1A4 as their new models "because the images we took for the 2013 PUMA Global Campaign and B1A4 look amazing and B1A4 represent the unique color of PUMA very well."
To celebrate the fact that B1A4 have become the new brand icons, a graffiti of the B1A4 members was created inside the brand's store in Myeongdong as eyecandy for the customers visiting the store. If you're curious now and want to see that picture of B1A4, please drop by the PUMA Myeongdong store.

But this preview pic and the ones from the CF shooting look quite good so far so idk, this Puma deal might actually mean some cool print ads and behind the scenes videos are on their way to us. Although yes, it's about time for that rumored chicken deal to happen because of all the lulz it would bring XD
