"It's clear that duct tape has evolved beyond being America's favorite fix-all," said Ashley Luke, category manager at ShurTech Brands, LLC, the company that markets Duck® brand duct tape. "We're seeking out duct tape enthusiasts that push the limit—those who see the possible and defy conformity by displaying originality and embracing curiosity in their everyday lives."
The hosts travel the country in "Rudy," the 1977 duct-tape-retrofitted Volkswagen bus to visit a variety of individuals who use duct tape in unconventional ways. Starting on August 3, the creative and ingenious stories from Bellingham, Wash.; Portland, Ore.; Oakland, Calif.; Indianapolis, Ind.; Chicago, Ill.; and Cincinnati, Ohio will be revealed weekly in pictures and videos on www.DuckTapeRoadTrip.com, as well as through Duck® brand Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube channels.
While exploring the country with the hosts through weekly episodes and 360-degree videos, fans are also encouraged to share stories of how they, too, use duct tape in unique ways. From Aug. 3, 2016 to Sept. 22, 2016 duct tape enthusiasts can use #DTRoadTrip on Twitter and Instagram to be entered into a sweepstakes to win their share of more than $5,000 in prizes. Visit DuckTapeRoadTrip.com for details.
"The uses of Duck Tape® are endless – from a creative medium to versatile tool," said Luke. "We look forward to celebrating the ingenuity and cultivating new and innovative uses for our products."
