Campaign overview
Durex were a distant second behind category leader Ansell. But despite their extremely low brand awareness Durex possessed a competitive advantage through more innovative products. We needed to demonstrate this in a way that would capture the attention of our audience.
So we designed and created Fundawear – a range of his and her underwear using dedicated technology to communicate touch over the Internet for the first time.
Using an iPhone application, a signal is sent via a real time server to their partner’s smartphone and transferred to touch-actuators inside underwear garments.
Whilst Skype allows couples to stay in contact, Fundawear actually lets them experience intimate touch. This ground-breaking innovation generated a staggering amount of free media enabling us to firmly position Durex as the most innovative brand in the category.
