Hanes: Kangaroo by The Martin Agency
- Location:
A lot of underwear marketing consists of svelte bodies wearing thin garments in fashionable poses. Hanes is taking a different approach that involves a comparison to a kangaroo’s pouch.
Hanes has launched the spot, ‘Kangaroo,’ to celebrate the introduction of the company’s Comfort Flex Fit Boxer Briefs.
Inspired by the comfort naturally found in a kangaroo’s pouch and using the tone often found in nature documentaries, the commercial features footage of kangaroos in the wild followed by a surprise ending that packs a wallop. The new creative aims to inspire fans to experience ‘The Magic of the Pouch’ for themselves.
The creative for the spots was done by the Martin Agency based in Richmond, Virginia.
