Within one brand, there are many stories to tell. This was certainly the case for Modibodi, an underwear brand designed to protect women against life’s common ‘unmentionables’.

WordStorm targeted stories depending on audience. Health and fitness media learnt about the benefits of Modibodi underwear when working out because it absorbs sweat. Parenting media were pitched an angle around breast milk leaks. Senior press were educated on its ability to protect against bladder leakage and women’s lifestyle press received press communication emphasising Modibodi’s uncanny ability to absorb menstrual discharge.

A competing brand launched at the time WordStorm PR was engaged and the international media attention for that brand was enormous. We reacted quickly, pitching a release to media to encourage journalists to interview founder Kristy, an Australian businesswoman with a similar business. This led to top-tier coverage in both business and lifestyle press. Reactive PR proved to be a very important element of this campaign. When Iggy Azalea was made brand ambassador for Bonds we reached out to the Daily Mail and organised a follow up story with Kristy to discuss the importance of using ‘real women’ in marketing.

55 pieces of coverage led to a total reach of 230 million, incorporating the readership, viewership and listenership of those outlets. Modibodi sparked the interest of media outlets including but not limited to The Daily Telegraph, Duo, Ragtrader, Mamamia, Daily Mail, Dynamic Business, Startup Daily, New Idea, BRW, AFR, Australian Anthill, The Carousel, Melissa Hoyer, The Sunday Telegraph, SMH.com.au, Women’s Health and Fitness, Kid Magazine, Shape Magazine, Bride to Be, Women’s Agenda, Daily Life and Babyology.
