Bonds positions women as warriors in latest jungle themed campaign

Bonds has launched its latest campaign ‘Join the Queendom’ which positions women as jungle warriors.

Set in the jungle, the one minute commercial features women dressed in Bonds underwear swatting mosquitos, cutting through bushes, carrying tree logs, sleeping with spiders, cutting wood with an axe and painting their nails with feathers.

At the conclusion of the one minute commercial Bonds encourages people to ‘Join the Queendom’.

“Times are changing and so is our underwear. Made for fierce women, everywhere,” Bonds said on its ‘Join the Queendom’ website.

The ad, created by Leo Burnett Melbourne, is promoting Bonds’ new range of Bonds Originals while aiming to empower women to feel good.

Emily Small, head of marketing at Bonds, said in a statement: “This range was made for young women and so we were excited to make some content that spoke to them. The brief was to create a
space where confidence rules, without losing our Bonds sense of humour.”

Holly Burgess, copywriter at Leo Burnett, added: “The Queendom, a sassy twist on the traditional Kingdom, felt really natural. We were keen to throw a few stereotypes out the window and have a bit of fun with it in the process.”

In February Bonds launched a campaign which featured models walking around the fictional town of Cool Springs; driving, playing golf and lugging bags of ice about in their Bonds.

Both campaigns are part of Bonds’ ‘Gotta be Bonds’ brand positioning.
