Babies don’t know the rules. They poo when they want to. Cry when they want to. And when they find their knees break whatever they want to. Finding their feet comes later and that opens a whole new realm of breaking.
With babies, anything can happen. And probably will. So Special and Bonds have launched Bonds Baby Cover, a comprehensive poo(and other awfuls)-licy for new parents, with Aussie comedian, Anne Edmonds, first-time mother and now Bonds Baby Cover claims assessor.
The tongue-in-cheek policy compensates parents for first-time parent experiences with free Bonds babywear.
The campaign films were director by Playtime’s queen of comedy directing (also a mum), Stef Smith.
During its 12-month Baby Cover Policy, parents can make a claim for a free Bonds product, on any of the following:
-Natural disasters: Includes Poo-splosions and strong wind.
-Vandalism: Claim for wilful damage caused by crayon/makeup/finger-painting
-Accidental damage: Accidental-probably-on-purpose damage caused by your baby. i.e, broken family heirlooms, keepsakes, memorabilia.
-Third party: Claim when it goes everywhere and on everyone
Edmonds commented, “As a new mum myself, this brilliant idea hit home for me in more ways than one, oh boy.”
As part of the Baby Cover Policy, parents also get great member benefits, such as discounts, free shipping, VIP (Very Important Parent) access to new product collabs, and birthday gift.
Lea Egan, creative director, Special Group, stated, “As parents ourselves, it was so great to get to work with such smart, funny mums on this project, from director Steph Smith, to our amazing talent Anne who (like the total legend that she is) came to set with her four month old.”
Megan Voss, marketing manager, Bonds, added, “Bonds is excited to be able to support first time parents as they navigate their way through the unexpected journey and joys of being parents.”
