Case Study
Summary
The men’s underwear category was in a $20m decline. A big problem for market leader, Bonds. The Campaign Palace and MediaCom developed a humorous and engaging campaign tasked with arresting this decline for Bonds. We unlocked a compelling consumer insight and turned a category issue into a social issue. Creating a national conversation asking men to take pride in their underwear. Enough listened, and we not only stemmed decline for Bonds, but created growth. Getting blokes into Bonds best undies, for good, as they returned in droves for repeat purchase. In a challenging retail environment on a budget of $1.2m
