Prediction: Unlikely to succeed

This is another test that will help determine if Ontel's Cami Secret was an outlier or a category. As I mentioned the last time this happened, Allstar's Trendy Top showed that one aspect of Cami Secret's positioning -- hiding the 'cracks' women don't want to show -- could yield success. This campaign will test another aspect of the positioning, half-garments that reduce bulkiness.

Specifically, Cami Secret concealed cleavage. Trendy Top conceals, um, rear cleavage. Both of those can be embarassing (more the latter than the former), so that presents a strong problem/solution to motivate people off the couch. The half-garment pitch, on the other hand, is more about fashion than a strong problem -- and that's why I think this one is unlikely to succeed. We'll see.
