Yes, Yes, Yes - SKYN Condoms | Clapboard Ad Archive
SKYN Condoms and Sid Lee Paris captured a moment of sweeping social change with their 2017 campaign Yes, Yes, Yes, merging an unapologetically playful creative approach with a celebration of Australia’s historic same-sex marriage vote. Delivered through a single film released in France, this campaign for the healthcare category harnessed the nation’s jubilant mood and channelled it through a simple but instantly potent device: repeated affirmations of yes from everyday Australians on the street. The narrative accelerates as these responses build in pace and fervour, culminating in an unabashedly orgasmic crescendo that aligns the elation of legal and cultural progress with the core promise of SKYN’s product — sexual pleasure, mutual consent, and inclusive intimacy. Rather than rely on explicit demonstration or didactic messaging, this work sits squarely within what Clapboard’s taxonomy identifies as FORMAT#9—Symbolize the Benefit, deploying escalating vocal affirmations as a playful metaphor for climax and satisfaction, and thus positioning the condom brand as both a celebrant and facilitator of modern sexual wellbeing. By literally vocalizing consent and excitement, Yes, Yes, Yes cleverly symbolises the connection between societal affirmation and intimate experience, making the campaign feel relevant, resonant, and anything but predictable in a category often tied to risk-aversion or clinical communication. Sid Lee’s creative execution uses cultural currency to bridge product utility with a much bigger emotional narrative, positioning SKYN not just as a purveyor of safe sex but as an ally in the evolving landscape of love, acceptance, and shared joy. The campaign earns 63/100 in Clapboard’s global creative archive. As the condom sector seeks to modernize and connect more deeply with shifting values, Yes, Yes, Yes stands out for its clever fusion of cultural moment, brand voice, and symbolic storytelling, reminding the industry that great healthcare marketing can be both provocative and profoundly attuned to the zeitgeist.
