Glassons, a New Zealand/Australian clothing company, plays a prominent role in the support of breast cancer research in New Zealand. In January each year, a specially designed range of T-shirts is sold with profits going to the Breast Cancer Cure Research Trust. To promote the new range earlier this year, Glassons worked with Publicis Mojo NZ to develop a television advertising campaign.

The 45 second spot begins with a group of young women and men relaxing together in a seaside camping ground. The first few shots reveal the new range of t-shirts being worn by young women. The video picks up its pace as all the characters gather together for a sack race. Now the t-shirts are being worn by both women and men. The spot ends as one of the women turns her back to reveal the super: “Together. Breast Cancer Research Trust T-Shirts”. The tagline, “Glassons is good for you”.

Lyrics for No Tears No More
I met my darling last night
I’ve never seen him before
He put his warm hand in mine
There’ll be no crying, Oh no more
And in a flutter of bees
And in a whisper of trees
I’ve never seen him before
There’ll be no crying, no more
There is no rest for the wicked
No blues like before
Our spell’s been lifted
Just like a baby born once more
On other side of the street
The flowers bloom where we meet
I’ve never seen him before
There’ll be no crying no more
There’ll be no crying no more
