This eye-catching mascot, shaped aptly to represent an essential part of the human body, is more than just an amusing character; it symbolizes the company’s commitment to providing high-quality underwear for hardworking Americans.
The new advertising campaign is titled "For Folks Who Work Their Butts Off," emphasizing the dedication and labor of individuals who give their all in their daily lives. Max Gluteus, in his animated form, is set to be the face of this campaign, helping to shine a spotlight on the importance of comfort and integrity in the most necessary apparel: underwear.
The Vision Behind Max Gluteus
Duluth Trading has long been a leader in the underwear market, combining fun designs with functionality. Their underwear line, which includes various styles and over a hundred colors, is intrinsically tied to the brand’s philosophy of catering to those who refuse to compromise on their comfort—especially when it comes to their most tactile garments. The character of Max Gluteus was carefully crafted to represent this spirit.
SVP of Product Development, Ricker Schlecht, stated, "Folks can't take life on with their own two hands if their undies are on life support." This playful yet earnest tagline captures the essence of what Max Gluteus is all about. He acts as a reminder that individuals should have the confidence to tackle their day, knowing that their underwear has their back—quite literally.

The clever campaign, developed in collaboration with creative agency Planet Propaganda, encapsulates Duluth’s cheeky personality and distinctive voice. Max Gluteus will be prominently featured across various media platforms including digital, social, and retail advertisements.

This humorous yet heartfelt approach underlines the brand's special connection with its audience. Garth Weber, SVP of Brand and Marketing, noted the uniqueness of Max's journey to approval within the company and added, "For Max, the G.L.U.T.E., it was worth the effort. In him, we have an ambassador who keeps the cheek (sorry, had to) and celebrates our unrivaled fandom for our unders."
