The Monkeys wins Berlei creative
Accenture’s The Monkeys has been appointed as creative agency of record to the Berlei account, Mumbrella can reveal.

Host’s first work pieces of work produced for Berlei, caused some controversy, as they challenged the industry standard and used women with larger breast sizes in the campaigns.
In its time with the brand, Host and Parlour also delivered work with long-time ambassador Serena Williams, including the ‘Bounce’ campaign in 2014.
Mumbrella understands Host has not done campaign work for Berlei for some time.
More recently, Berlei worked with Emotive and Parlour to produce a content-led marketing campaign around the time of the Australian Open, with Williams performing a self-choreographed dance wearing the Berlei sports-bras.
‘Do it for yourself’ aimed to celebrate women of all shapes and sizes, and inspire them.
