Flora & Fauna launches first brand campaign via The Incubator

Award-winning ethical and sustainable online retailer Flora & Fauna have produced their first pure brand campaign, focussing on their ‘surprisingly better’ eco alternatives for everyday household and beauty essentials.

Aimed at the eco-curious, the message is simple: Flora & Fauna makes it ‘easy to be eco’, with more than 10,000 eco-friendly products to shop online. The brand further reinforces its credentials in the ad, referring to their B-Corp status and fully carbon-offset operations.

“We are truly focused on making a difference at F&F and that is not easy to get across in 30 seconds; however the teams at The Incubator and Jumbla have really understood our purpose, values and us,” says Flora & Fauna founder, Julie Mathers. “I’m delighted and so excited to get this campaign out and start helping many more make better choices.”

“Surprisingly Better is a strong message, challenging people to discover both how easy it is to shop for eco products, and also how great those products can be,” says Kyran Docker, Creative Director at The Incubator. “We wanted to help people realise they can easily make a difference with their everyday shopping choices.”

“As long-time fans of Flora & Fauna, we’re delighted to have been asked to help create their first brand campaign”, says Alison Rentoul, Incubator’s Head of Strategy. “We really enjoy working with purpose-driven brands and it was a real pleasure to take this campaign from concepts through to completion, in collaboration with the superb team at Jumbla.”

Two-times winner of ‘Top Sustainable Retailer’ at the 2020 and 2021 power retail awards, Flora & Fauna was founded in 2014 and recently acquired by natural beauty business BWX.

The ads will primarily run on social media and BVOD.

Ben Goodfellow, Tradie founder says: “We’re extremely proud to be sponsors of the Melbourne Storm, one of the most successful clubs in NRL history, and we’re sure they’ll be great ambassadors for our Tradie body range. Plus our products will help make all their victories smell even sweeter this season.”

“The boys were game for everything we threw at them during filming, and we’re excited to show how much fun these ads are.” said Kyran Docker, Creative Director at The Incubator.

Tradie gets footloose with new bamboo socks spot via The Incubator

Aussie underwear label Tradie continues to expand their range with the launch of a new bamboo sock collection.

The latest in a series of spots featuring Tradie ambassador Nick Cummins in the true-blue Aussie outback, this spot shows a whole new side to the Honey Badger. Dancing like nobody’s watching, in a matching set of Tradie black undies and socks, the Badge gets fully footloose and fancy-free.

Filmed on a classic location in Broken Hill, in this 30 second TVC our Aussie icon is evidently in his element. Putting their ‘Tradie Tough’ claim to the test, the bootless Badger channels his inner cowboy and kicks up his heels to a rootin’ tootin’ tune.

“Our latest spot in the Broken Hill series is an absolute winner,” says Tradie founder Ben Goodfellow. “What better way to show the strength and comfort of our bamboo socks than by dancing around in the tough environment of the Aussie outback?”

Melbourne creative agency The Incubator continues to bring home the Tradie goods with this latest spot. Kyran Docker, Creative Director at The Incubator said “We’re just trying to have fun with this brand, it’s great working with Nick, he really gets into character. Who knew he could line dance?”

The 30 second spot is currently airing on TV and social media.

Tradie scrubs up alright with Inspired Unemployed TVCs for new Body Wash range

Continuing Tradie’s collaboration with the Inspired Unemployed, Tradie introduces their new branded Body Wash range via these two 15 second TVCs, featuring bath time with Matt and Jack.

“We had a lot of fun coming up with these spots,” says Ben Goodfellow, Tradie founder. “Basically nothing is off limits with these guys¬—they just kept injecting their own unique brand of humour into what were already pretty funny scenarios and the results are exactly what we were looking for.”

Matt Ford and Jack Steel of The Inspired Unemployed have been bathed in glory since bursting onto the social media scene in 2019. Flatmates in Sydney, these two besties clearly like to keep it cheeky even while they’re cleaning up their act. This bubbly duo are used to getting themselves in hot water, but it’s all good clean fun at the end of the day.

“Given all the heaviness of the world right now, it’s been great to produce some lighthearted spots that don’t take themselves too seriously and just put a smile on your face,” said Kyran Docker, Creative Director at The Incubator.

The new 15 second spots will air on National TV from the 16th August. Check them out here:

Tradie hires Inspired Unemployed to launch new Body Spray range

Building on their reputation for funny all-Australian ads, Tradie have teamed up with creative comedy duo, The Inspired Unemployed, for the TV launch of Tradie’s new Body Spray range.

Tradie’s series of 15 second Body Spray TVCs show these two besties deeply enjoying each other’s scent in a locker room. “Having these two front our new Tradie Body Spray is perfect,” says Ben Goodfellow, Tradie founder. “They’re such naturals; within 5 minutes the scripts were out the window. I’ve always our brand ambassadors should be people any Aussie would want to have a beer with, and I certainly want to have a beer with these guys!”

Rising stars of The Inspired Unemployed, 25 year olds Matt Ford and Jack Steel are best mates from Sydney, with a passion for surfing, snowboarding and generally goofing around. Their scruffy good looks and self-deprecating humour have seen them grow an impressive following of more than 435k on Tik Tok and 370k on Instagram in the past 18 months. Thanks to their unique style of whacky physical comedy, collaborations with brands such as Fendi, GQ and the Aria Awards have seen the boys become hotly pursued talent, who are these days far from unemployed.

“Working on this project with Tradie turned out to be one of the better collaborations we have done so far” the pair said of the shoot. “The guys gave us a tonne of freedom and let us push the boundaries a lot with ideas and acting, which we find creates a much more authentic result and is how we normally like to work. It definitely helped that everyone on set were bloody legends to work with too, which always makes for a better result.”

Kyran Docker, Creative Director at The Incubator was quick to sing their praises too. “Funny is in their DNA. We barely needed to give them any direction, they just instantly got what we were trying to do and ran with it.”

The new 15 second spots will air on National TV from this weekend. Sniff them out here:

Tradie goes for ‘ultimate iso’ in new outback Workwear spot

Aussie underwear label Tradie has taken self-isolation productivity to a whole new level in their latest spot. Some people bake sourdough, others do 5,000 piece jigsaws… but that’s not challenging enough for Tradie’s favourite brand ambassador Nick Cummins: he’s putting their Tradie Workwear range to the ultimate test during iso, by building a humungous fence.

Filmed in outback Broken Hill, the spot features Honey Badger, clad head to toe in Tradie Workwear, planting the first of 23,495 fence posts ­– with questionable success, but infinite style. Why is he building a massive fence? Who knows? Who cares? While we may never understand the enigmatic workings of the Honey Badger’s mind, one thing’s for certain: Tradie workwear is the best clothing choice for a mission this epic.

“I’m really excited for the release of our new Tradie Workwear advert,” says Ben Goodfellow, founder of the iconic Tradie brand. “Continuing on from our last ‘no bounce’ outback spot, Nick is now demonstrating how tough our Tradie Workwear really is when working out in the elements. I’m sure all Australians are going to love this advert and it will cement Tradie as Australia’s favourite true blue, tough as nails workwear brand.”

Melbourne creative agency The Incubator was once again tasked with building on Tradie’s highly popular advertising archive. Kyran Docker, Creative Director at The Incubator said “It’s been great to be part of the ongoing evolution of this brand, and seeing the effort it takes to dig a hole.”

The 30 second spot will air on TV for the first time on 7th June 2020.
