The Monkeys & BCF Tell Aussies They’re Stuck In The Best Place On Earth This Summer

The Monkeys & BCF Tell Aussies They’re Stuck In The Best Place On Earth This Summer

With international holidays off the cards this summer, BCF’s new campaign ‘You Couldn’t Be Anywhere Better’ is reminding Aussies if you can’t be anywhere else, you may as well make the most of it here.

Created by The Monkeys, the outdoor retailer’s new campaign celebrates how international travel bans are making holidays in the Aussie bush even more enticing.

Directed by Tony Rogers and produced by Guilty, the campaign looks on the bright and summery side of what has been a pretty yucky year.

The campaign spots are accompanied by BCF’s much-loved anthem, and show Aussies having a cracking time in our idyllic landscapes, in contrast to some pretty bleak international locations.

BCF General Manager E-commerce and Marketing, Ben McConnell, says: “A deep love for the Australian outdoors is at the very core of our brand. There is no better time to celebrate being here, than this summer.”

Ant Keogh, Chief Creative Officer, The Monkeys Melbourne adds: “It’s been a crazy year, so in true BCF fashion we’ve taken the opportunity to have a bit of anthemic fun with the situation.”

‘You Couldn’t Be Anywhere Better’ is set to launch across broadcast television and on social throughout summer.
