Australian underwear brand Bonds, with a rich history dating back to 1915, has made a significant move by entering the U.S. market. The brand’s debut in the U.S. was accompanied by a wild-themed campaign featuring Robert Irwin, the son of the renowned Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin.
Bonds has a tradition of showcasing Australian talent in its campaigns, and partnering with Robert Irwin for the U.S. launch aligns perfectly with this ethos. Tanya Deans, the president of Bonds Australia, emphasized the importance of having fearless individuals like Irwin to represent the brand’s laid-back essence.
The campaign, titled “Made for Down Under,” captures Irwin amidst real-life wildlife, including snakes, spiders, and crocodiles. Irwin’s involvement not only adds a daring touch to the campaign but also pays homage to his father’s legacy as a zookeeper, television presenter, and conservationist.
With over 8 million followers on TikTok, Robert Irwin has established himself as a significant influencer, especially in showcasing Australian wildlife to a global audience. His involvement in the Bonds campaign brings a unique blend of conservation and fashion to the forefront.
In addition to Robert Irwin, the campaign also features rapper Tkay Maidza modeling women’s underwear. Maidza’s presence adds diversity to the campaign, appealing to a broader audience and reflecting Bonds’ commitment to inclusivity.
The “Made for Down Under” campaign is set to roll out across various digital platforms, including social media, podcasts, and streaming services. This multi-channel approach reflects Bonds’ strategic marketing efforts to reach a wide range of consumers in the competitive U.S. market.
Bonds’ expansion into the U.S. market marks a significant milestone for the century-old brand, originally founded by George Allan Bond, an American immigrant to Australia. Acquired by Hanesbrands in 2016, Bonds continues to operate as a subsidiary under Hanes Australasia, showcasing a blend of American and Australian heritage.
The brand’s exclusive availability on Amazon and its official website, bondsaustralia.com, provides American consumers with easy access to Bonds’ range of products, including the popular Chafe Off, Icons, Originals, and X-Temp Air collections.
Looking ahead, Bonds has expressed plans to venture into physical retail in the future, aiming to provide American consumers with a unique shopping experience that combines comfort and style. The brand’s statement reaffirms its commitment to offering top-quality products that elevate everyday comfort.
As Bonds makes its mark in the U.S., the collaboration with Robert Irwin and Tkay Maidza underscores the brand’s innovative approach to marketing and its dedication to celebrating Australian talent on a global stage. By blending wildlife conservation with fashion, Bonds’ campaign resonates with consumers seeking a unique and authentic brand experience.
