Ad of the Day: Lindex chronicles woman’s life after formative bra-fitting

This ad is so familiar because it shows life’s ups and downs without any sugarcoating. As we travel through the life of a woman, there are many moments we can relate to, landing it our top spot today.

Swedish fashion retailer Lindex is putting women front and center of its new ad campaign but in a very raw and unfiltered way. Viewers see a woman’s life from her teenage years right up to going through menopause, with the product at the heart of the short film.

The story is relayed poignantly with poise and a dash of humor, which makes it all the more relatable. This relatability is crucial in fostering a strong emotional connection with the brand and its message.

What makes this ad stand out is that it takes an unexpected direction for a lingerie brand. For people who remember going to buy their first bra, there’s a sense of nostalgia and significance too. There’s a ‘lived experience’ element to this video that strikes an emotional chord.

Overall, the ad is refreshingly honest, with authentic storytelling and visuals. It leaves a lasting impression and is deserving of the Ad of the Day.
