Hanes(R) Comforts Women With More 'Love'.


Jennifer Love Hewitt to Lead New Hanes Advertising Campaign "Supporting" All-Over Comfort Bra with ComfortSoft([R]) Straps

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- Hanes[R], America's No.1 brand of apparel, today announced that it will feature Jennifer Love Hewitt in an advertising campaign to support the launch of the brand's All-Over Comfort Bra with ComfortSoft([R]) Straps. The campaign will include new television, print and online ads. The new bra's innovative ComfortSoft[R] Straps are designed wider and are made of smooth nylon/spandex for a non-binding fit that eliminates cutting and digging into shoulders, providing a solution to continuously slipping bra straps.

"We are thrilled that Jennifer Love is working with us this year on this important new product offering," said Sidney Falken, Hanes Brand Champion. "Even the most glamorous stars struggle with slipping straps and pinching bras. Jennifer Love is the perfect person to bring challenges like these to light in a fun way, and highlight the Hanes All-Over Comfort Bra as the most comfortable solution."

Now available at retail stores, the Hanes All-Over Comfort Bra features wider ComfortSoft([R]) Straps, butter-soft fabric, an optional hidden underwire un·der·wire

In the campaign created by the Martin Agency of Richmond, Va., Hewitt will debut in her first Hanes television ad on March 1 using 15- and 30-second spots where viewers will get a sneak peek into a day in her life at a fictional photo shoot with the actress.

 of wardrobe changes, coordinated by stylist-to-the-stars Jessica Paster, Hewitt dons various looks from rocker to romantic, until she decides that even the most fabulous designer dress doesn't look stylish or camera-ready with a bra strap that continuously slips off her shoulder. Hewitt discards the ill-fitting bra, and puts on her Hanes All-Over Comfort Bra with ComfortSoft Straps. Problem resolved - now she is fashionable and comfortable once again.

"A stylish look begins with the right foundation," Hewitt said. "From the Red Carpet to a weekend coffee run, the Hanes All-Over Comfort Bra is a perfect fit for me. The ComfortSoft straps stay in place, so there are no worries about slipping or pinching, and it really looks as great as it feels."

Continuing the same "behind-the-scenes" theme, the print campaign features photograph contact sheets with shots that were ruled out and marked-up with a red wax pencil, as a result of Hewitt's bra mishaps. The print campaign will launch with inserts and full-page ads in fashion magazines this spring and will continue through fall 2007. Hewitt's ill-fitting bra saga continues in multiple forms online, as well. Online advertising will begin on April 16.

The entire campaign will direct consumers to www.hanes.com/photoshoot for additional behind-the-scenes footage and commercial outtakes, an interactive "Bra Toss" game and sweepstakes for consumers, as well as a blog where consumers can vent about their biggest bra challenges.
