Our recent work for this global Wrangler campaign showcases what we do best at Heavy Duty, working with a client to explore many directions, to yield the best musical outcome for a company.

After finding the song and negotiating the rights on behalf of our client, we gave the track a remix treatment for Wrangler’s 2021 audience.
