‘Ask forgiveness, not permission’ has become a mantra.
The SIG SAUER SIERRA3BDX launch at 2018 NRA Show was a huge success and produced many assets that were available for dealers to download and utilize to support their in-store efforts for the BDX education and sales.
However, some brands will take these assets, and with some creative manipulation utilize for other purposes without spending the budget, nor support the creative teams that developed and made these assets.
Seen here is a current example:
