Two-Time Professional Basketball Champion serves as wingman for FUTURO Brand’s Newest Campaign in Video Collaboration with Onion Labs
Recently retired basketball player Matt Bonner gave humorous “support” to FUTURO Brand’s new campaign, highlighting his quest to stay fit after retirement as he explores out-of-the-box fitness routines. The video launches alongside the brand’s larger “Brace for Adventure” campaign which speaks to the attitude of the “all-in” consumer, one who embraces life’s greatest adventures and takes advantage of FUTURO Brand’s premium line of braces and supports.
As part of the new campaign, Bonner, who has experienced his own bumps and bruises throughout his basketball career, humorously demonstrates how the proper support can keep you doing the activities you love – whether it’s basketball, break dancing or even trampolining.
“The physical journey of any athlete can come with its challenges,” said Bonner. “I love that the FUTURO Brand has taken a light-hearted approach to remind active people that choosing the right support product can help you continue on your adventure…no matter what that adventure may be.”
“We’re excited that our new campaign reflects an attitude of embracing adventure, of trying something new and seeing what’s possible. Matt Bonner embodies that “all-in” attitude. We loved that he shared his personal experience as an athlete, and of course his signature humor, to help tell our story and introduce new consumers to the FUTURO Brand,” said Marcelo Hengeltraub, global business unit manager for FUTURO Brand.
Video Collaboration with Onion Labs
To kick off the partnership, FUTURO Brand today released a video featuring Bonner in collaboration with Onion Labs, the creative services division of Onion Inc., which takes a humorous approach to his post-career athletic journey. Though he may have been an all-star on the basketball court, the video highlights Bonner’s quest to stay fit after retirement as he explores trampolining and yoga, revisits his early days as a breakdancer and the art of making sandwiches (his favorite retirement hobby!)
