More in America Week 3


Ben and Cam compliment each other really well. Ben usually thinks before he acts on things; and Cam on the other hand is more ambitious and doesn’t think of what could be the end result. Ben superpower in this episode would have to be the knowledge he has for denim. He studied in an art college, and he says he’s been wearing denim for fifth teen years of his life.  Cam on the other hand; works for anything that has to do with money. He is constantly on his grind for the denim line they are trying to peruse.  That is also Cam’s best value, and this episode demonstrates that he does what ever he has to do to make money for the pattern cutter. Their denim is styled by 1970s punk rock and hip-hop; their “Crisp” will help them differentiate from their competitors. They surround themselves around a small group of friends, which attend a lot of parties where Ben and Cam network with other people in the industry.  Even though they rarely have any financial plans they have the passion to be successful. Ben has the better business and marketing background, and Cam has the street-smart marketing techniques. This episode he took advantage of uptown private school kids to sell all the skateboard decks. Cam sold all the decks and got money for the pattern cutter. If it wasn’t for Cam’s ambition they would’ve had to settle for the pattern cutter and Ben would’ve of paid his rent. They paid $1500 for one sample for their jeans, when they dropped the denim off they were complimented how nice their denim was. I think their sample will pay off because they started some type of business play that will help their money management. If they stay of their grind the “Crisp” Denim will be successful.
