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 ad highlights the comfort and support of the new pouch design in its men's underwear. 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 devised by the Martin Agency based in Richmond, Virginia.
The television commercial debuts on March 13 in 15- and 30-second formats during the NCAA Men’s Division I Basketball Tournament, as well as later in the year on a variety of networks.
