The ‘Tweeting Bra’ is part of a unique breast cancer awareness campaign by Nestlé SA. Oglivy Athens created a bra for Nestle Fitness that is designed to remind women to perform self-exams: each time the bra is unclasped, it sends a tweet to the 'Tweeting Bra' Twitter account.
The bra has a small Bluetooth sewn into the back of it and when it detects being unhooked, it automatically posts a message to the account. Since this is a Greek campaign, many of the tweets are in Greek, but occasionally, groan-worthy puns like “boobs I did it again” can be spotted in English.
Well-known Greek personalities like TV presenter Maria Bakodimou have agreed to participate in wearing the bra for this campaign.
