Markham, Ontario – October 17, 2024 – Folgers® Coffee is thrilled to announce the launch of its new campaign, “Bold Moves, Bold Coffee,” featuring the dynamic tennis sensation, Leylah Fernandez. This new campaign celebrates the bold spirit that has made Folgers and Leylah fan favourites while inspiring the next generation of women and girl athletes.
The “Bold Moves, Bold Coffee” campaign will feature new commercial spots starring Leylah that will air on TSN & RDS along with complementary digital and social media programming, from both the brand and Leylah, to amplify awareness and engagement.
As part of this initiative, Folgers is proud to partner with Canadian Women & Sport, a non-profit organization focused on transforming sport in Canada so girls and women can reach their full potential. In addition to a financial contribution to the organization, Folgers will be promoting Canadian Women & Sport on select media assets to enhance awareness of the cause.

Leylah Fernandez, known for her tenacity and bold playing style, embodies the essence of Folgers Coffee. “I’m excited to partner with Folgers on this campaign,” said Fernandez. “Bold moves on the court require bold coffee off the court, and I’m proud to support an initiative that uplifts women in sports.”
