“When we started working with FJ on developing this campaign we discovered – which later became the theme of our campaign – that committed players, regardless of their skill level, feel an unbreakable emotional bond with the game,” said Greg Braun, ECD at the Huntington Beach, Calif. agency. 
The new television campaign comprises three commercials, two 30-second spots and one 60-second spot, which started appearing on the Golf Channel in January. 

FJ’s print campaign includes unique print ads for each of the major product lines for the brand plus a general ad for the brand moniker, “FJ. The Mark of a Player.” Print ads will appear in national golf publications beginning in January.
