The Monkeys wins creative account for BCF
The Monkeys has been appointed as creative agency of record for outdoor equipment retailer BCF. The account was previously held by Clemenger BBDO Melbourne and Brisbane.
The news comes as the brand is experiencing a shake up of its agency list. Earlier this month Super Retail Group – which owns BCF – appointed OMD as its media agency of record for its brands.

Clemenger BBDO Melbourne and Brisbane was behind the controversial “BCF-ing Fun” brand platform and jingle which continually led to complaints to Ad Standards. BCF landed on Ad Standards’ list of most complained about ads in both 2017 and 2018, due to concerns about the language innuendo. The complaints were never upheld.
