All hail to AMV BBDO and Essity, the partners who are freeing women of entrenched stereotypes one bold campaign at a time. The company’s newest work is for incontinence brand, Tena, and continues AMV BBDO’s #Ageless campaign which launched in March.
This time Tena has partnered with femtech sex toy brand, Je Joue, to send influencers an intimate device which brings pleasure as well as improving pelvic floor strength, to demonstrate that wellness doesn’t have an age limit.
The #Ageless wellbeing packs will be delivered to influencers across the UK and France, and feature HANX lubricant, kegel exercise instructions and TENA Silhouette underwear. They also feature beautiful illustrations and typography by artist, Stina Persson, and build on the brand’s #Ageless strategy created by AMV BBDO, and supported by Ketchum from a PR strategy side.
The striking packs include a QR code linking the recipient to the free Tena app, called My Pelvic Floor Fitness, which features daily reminders, progress tracking and helpful tips. As the box is opened, the shape of a woman’s body comes into view on its outside with the strapline, Our bodies change but why should we?
The new campaign is supported by an extensive spokesperson and influencer programme executed by Finn Communications and launched during the last week of June.
#Ageless began in March with a 60-second film directed by Yorgos Lanthimos, director of highly awarded film, The Favourite, designed to stimulate and provoke conversation about the realities of ageing; to celebrate the positivity, as well as challenge perceptions of incontinence.
Bridget Angear, joint chief strategy officer at AMV BBDO, explained, “Older women’s sexuality has long been underestimated and underrepresented. With Je Joue and these wellbeing packs we encourage women to continue enjoying the pleasure they can get from their bodies, no matter what age they are.”
Jason Kaplanis, global brand communications manager at Tena, added, “This campaign forms part of our “I will be me” platform which aims to create a healthier and more open conversation about the issue of incontinence and female self image. The little box of wellbeing was planned and developed six months ago when we had no idea how much the world was about to change. Self-care has never been more important.”
The new campaign will run across influencers’ social channels for two weeks.
