The Woolmark Company takes aim at people’s obsession with synthetics and robots in first campaign for seven years

The Woolmark Company has taken aim at people’s obsession with synthetics and the future in a campaign seeking to educate a new generation of consumers about the benefits of Australian Merino wool.

In its first campaign since winning the account in November last year, TBWA/Sydney launched the global campaign with the intention of telling a story of a synthetic world which has forgotten how to live naturally.

The film will be launched in New York, San Francisco, London, Shanghai and Tokyo and will also be posted on out-of-home billboards.

Andy DiLallo, chief creative officer at TBWA/Sydney, said in a statement: “Live&Breathe’ is a big platform idea that can inspire innovation and communication for years to come.”

Paul Bradbury, CEO at TBWA\Australia, added: “It’s not often we have the opportunity to produce global campaigns based in Sydney, we are very proud that we will play a part in promoting Australian Merino wool to a new generation of global consumers.”

The ad seeks to reintroduce natural wool and steer consumers away from the rapid demand for technologically made textiles.

“A new generation of consumers are now expecting more from their purchases and Merino wool’s combined performance properties and eco credentials are primed to meet this expectation. Our global campaign reminds consumers of wool’s natural benefits, which cannot be matched by any other fibre,” Stuart McCullough, MD of The Woolmark company added.
