Swedish Press
Craig Ferguson‘s sponsor, the clothing maker Gant, are pretty happy with the web series Couple Thinkers. The shows are continuing to get lots of views (on it’s own, the episode with Neil deGrasse Tyson has nearly a million views) and are generating ongoing press coverage. The fashion website Drapers.com profiled Gant’s CEO and the article mentions the show as part of his strategy to position the brand. And the Swedish financial newspaper Dagens Industri has a nice profile of Craig. You can read the (somewhat bumpy) Google translation of the article into English, and as the RSA’s @bgrhubarb points out, the translation of Craig’s joke about the difference in age between his two sons is hilarious.

The show, featuring Craig and his wife Megan, asks some of life’s big questions and seeks out experts to search for answers. The show is produced by European clothing maker Gant, and apart from announcements at the beginning and end of the program (and Craig and Megan wearing Gant clothing), there is no other advertising contained in the show itself. Careful viewers of Gant’s YouTube channel will, however, see Craig and Megan in videos more closely resembling ads as well. Marketing and technology watchers like Cheddar.com are interested in how the main programs areintended to reach audiences and whether they will boost the brand’s profile in the U.S., particularly with millennials. The Hollywood Reporter, New York Magazine’s Vulture website, the New York Daily News and The Informer also covered the launch.

The network’s main studio location today is on Radford Avenue in Studio City, which includes the network’s west coast corporate offices and studios for several current network shows. One series of Celebrity Name Game was shot at Radford.
