Berlei urges women to stop their boobs playing their own game in new spot via The Monkeys
Berlei has launched its Spring Summer 18′ Sport collection with a provocative campaign via The Monkeys, demonstrating the impact different sports have on women’s breasts when they are not wearing a supportive sports bra.
It’s been reported that an astounding 43% of women are unaware that not wearing a supportive sports bra while exercising can contribute to breast tissue damage that can cause breast sagging later in life.
The campaign, ‘Stop Your Boobs Playing Their Own Game’, speaks to women of all ages, with a range of different breast sizes who play all kinds of sport. It aims to empower women to care for and invest in themselves by choosing the right sports bra for their chosen sport or favourite type of exercise.
The campaign helps Berlei – celebrated for its Australian Institute of Sport tested bounce control sports bras – to reaffirm its category leadership position and aims to assert Berlei as a brand with true authority on women’s breasts and how to
support them while playing sport or doing exercise.
The campaign shares a simple but effective message aimed at educating women on the importance of good bra support irrespective of if they are walking, doing yoga, participating in cross fit or completing a marathon, with the tagline, Berlei The Best Support For Sport.
Says Andrea Michelle, marketing manager, Berlei: “From our extensive research and expertise, there was a simple truth that we knew better than anyone: not only do boobs move a lot during exercise, they also move differently in every different sport women play. Without the right bra women’s breasts are getting knocked around almost as much as the balls they’re playing with.”
Created by The Monkeys, part of Accenture Interactive, the campaign launches this week on broadcast and digital platforms.
Says Barbara Humphries, creative director, The Monkeys: “When playing different sports, the right sports bra is as important to our comfort and performance as the shoes on our feet. A good bra does make a difference, and there’s none better than Berlei.”

That’s pretty good.
Fantastic work. Really really really smart. I’m sure we’ll be seeing this one doing the rounds of the award shows over the coming year.
i love everything about this spot. Well done Monkeys. Hire me.
Great work Cloe & Arch.
Very good.
A fitting (geddit?) development of the ‘When the only thing you want to bounce is the ball’ campaign by The Campaign Palace.
…too long.
Is great
not often said in these parts but that is really good
Never comment on here but this is so good i made the effort – Awesome.
love it archie and chloe
Brilliant work to all involved!! 🙂
Where can I buy these boob balls tho
This ad kind of makes me and my boobs feel uncomfortable. It reminds me of that weird walking tongue ad.
Great job. This is gonna work it’s ass off.
Great work guys! Love it..
Nice
Lovely spot guys – in all sincerity, well done.
I’m assuming the hero talent didn’t disclose she’s the current face of Target’s Run Wild campaign?
Cool. Simple.
Shame the client made you put the humans in at the end.
For trying and succeeding. excellent job
It’s okay. But why didn’t they build on the idea they introduced last year. Why does every brand feel like they need new brand ideas every time? No wonder people don’t enter the effetcivness awards with such short term vision.
PS it’s too long.
Really f**king cool! Love the music as well.
Awesome. Well done all.
Nice one Barbarabarabara.
As an owner of a couple of these, I give this ad a very hearty two-thumbs up.
….you get it.

Show us your work?
Brilliant. Onya Chloe et Archie et Barb et al.
Hi Jay!
Lovely job girls. Came to life beautifully.
Love that Jockey balls spot!
Great spot guys
It’s not exactly the same as Jockey but it’s very similar.
This industry is seriously starved of inspiration.
If we collectively think this is groundbreaking then we all need new jobs.
This ad is tits.
Hey @Australian Advertising,
I’m not sure anyone has said the work is groundbreaking. That’s just you putting words in the mouths of people to start an unwarranted debate. You’ve elevated complimentary comments to suit your exaggerated, spiteful response. The fact that you feel the need to claim yourself as ‘Australian advertising’ says a lot about you. You clearly like trying to have some type of misguided authority like you are speaking on behalf of the entire nation. Funny. You are exactly what’s wrong with ‘Australian advertising’!
Don’t be a dick. It may come as a shock to you but people are allowed to compliment work on this blog.
Nice ad.
And a good show of diversity at the end.
Nice to see it also well supported with positive comments.
‘Brilliant’, ‘Really good’, ‘Awards circuits’ is the general theme of commentary.
I’m with @Australian advertising, you all need a reality check.
This is really fun and fresh and totally the tits!
Well done to Leilani and all the team behind you
Nice one C+A!
my god that music is beyond horrible.
great work guys.
The ad is just okay.
But ain’t boobs brilliant?
It must be good. Even Old CD Guy likes it.
Imagine if it was a bunch of dicks flying around and the ad was for jock straps?
Please do a cock version just just for CAD
Imagine
Love it. Nice work to all involved. Wish their was more craft like this going around.
Great stuff Charlotte, Barb, and Chloe & Archie!
This ticks all the boxes of what makes a great communication..
They’ll become the rubber boob brand. This is not great at all. Very creative but I doubt will work. Doesn’t build off the other work either.
It’s ugly and makes me cringe.
I’d be interested to know if these are allowed to run on Instagram
It’s been forever since a campaign can be summed up in a single key visual. Yet another hallmark of a really good advertising idea.
orsum
Absolutely revolting ad. I will NEVER buy your product again.. always bought berlie, but NEVER again. Well done to the marketing genius who did this. Dumb dumb dumb.
My family is shocked at your latest Free to air marketing campaign depicting breasts on the loose during physical activities.
I would like Berlie to venture into the men’s undies range and depict testicles bouncing around. I’m sure the men wouldn’t mind.
Your boob ad has definitely made me aware that Berlin will go to disgusting lengths to sell bras that l will NOT be buying.
