It’s time to be kind to your breasts says a new campaign spot from bra brand Berlei for the roll out of its new bra range, Womankind.
“We wanted to launch into our next 100 years with our kindest bra yet,” said Zoe Hayes, Berlei Senior Marketing Manager. “Every component of this new bra franchise has been challenged to ensure it makes women feel great.”

The integrated campaign – including the naming of the bra, was created by The Monkeys and highlights how women often have to accept that bras are either uncomfortable, unsupportive or something they must conform to.

“The WOMANKIND campaign reveals all the frustrations women have endured over the years from bras,” said Barbara Humphries, The Monkeys Creative Director. “We wanted to tell this story with humor, empathy, and bold honesty – three things the category has often been devoid of.”
The ads were directed by Kim Gehrig from Revolver.
There is also social #boobtruth content that highlights “the truth” about wearing certain bras – that they are often painful, awkward, uncomfortable and sometimes, just downright funny.
“The Monkeys have truly landed the importance of this new launch and what it means for women’s everyday experiences,” said Hayes. “It shines a light on the need for daily, ritualistic kindness in an irreverent, honest, charming and compelling way.”
