jac5 Undie Amnesty Event

Jac5_Logo

To create a great media splash for the premium underwear brand jac5, we created the Undie Amnesty Event.

On a busy Thursday lunchtime on Pitt Street, the public was invited to ditch their current underwear and upgrade to a fresh pair of jac5s. By the end of the stint, the glass bin was almost full of amnestied underwear – a lot of which were designer-brand undies that obviously let our men down.

 
Lexus L'Exhibition 2012

Lexus

Oddfellows has created a campaign to promote the annual Lexus L’Exhibition sales event.  L’Exhibition will run throughout November.

The creative for the 15 second TVC, retail ads, and EDM and POS material is driven by strong images and sophisticated, direct copy which reinforces the luxury status of the Lexus brand.

 
Toyota’s Lowest Ever Finance

Cricket

Toyota is offering their lowest ever comparison rate financing until the end of the year; with 0% on the Camry & Aurion range and 1.9% on over 30 other models.

To break through the immense vehicle finance-rate clutter currently in the market place, and to support Toyota’s new sponsorship with Cricket Australia, we used respected cricket legend Glenn McGrath.

With TV, Print, Online, Dealership POS amongst the mix, it’s unlikely anyone wouldn’t have heard about Toyota’s lowest ever finance.

Corporate Express Mid Market Campaign
Corporate Express has recently embarked on a major company-wide initiative to improve its penetration into medium-sized businesses. Corporate Express’ main point of difference is that it is single source supplier, with a wide range of product offerings from Office products to furniture and IT Solutions, which allows them to tailor individual solutions to meet any customer’s needs.
A multilevel campaign was developed to help support the sales force to create awareness of Corporate Express’ comprehensive range of offerings and extensive capabilities. It also sought to generate interest and help start a genuine conversation with their prospective audience. The work included a mix of personal and informative elements that offered genuine proof of how Corporate Express stood at the head of the pack and why medium-sized business should choose Corporate Express as their trusted supplier.

Corporate Express Product Expo
Corporate Express’ annual Product Expo showcases the latest and greatest products on offer from CE for the upcoming year, including new product lines and innovations. This year, Corporate Express chose sustainability as their Expo theme.
Our job was to bring that theme to life in an interesting and engaging way across all the relevant campaign elements, which included both the pre-Expo communications and the Expo signage itself. An important consideration was to ensure that the communications were free of green washing and customer guilt, which can often be associated with a green message.
The campaign idea demonstrates that sustainability can be easily achieved in all corners of the office, and even the smallest change can still make a difference.
All pieces created a strong visual impact whilst communicating the Expo theme

Toyota’s  ‘Lifetime of Advantages’ keep going...
Two more TVCs have been created, further underpinning the ongoing benefits of owning and driving a Toyota. Lower Running Costs & Renowned Re-Sale Value are just another part of a lifetime of Toyota advantages.
The TVCs showcase undoubted product and brand truths about Toyota. Few car companies can boast  the fuel saving technology, world leading Hybrid Technology and capped price servicing that contribute to a Toyota’s low running costs. Even fewer can claim that 87% of their cars sold in the past 20 years are still on the road today. Enduring vehicle quality that leads to great re-sale value.
The material represents the third phase in Toyota’s new retail approach that highlights the superior value Toyota delivers every day you drive, from the moment you purchase to the moment you trade-in. It is a promise of real value that frees you up to live the life you want to live.

Toyota: Rukus

Rukus by ToyotaOn the face of it, the brief seemed simple – launch Rukus by Toyota into the Australian market. However, Rukus is unlike any other Toyota. A truly niche vehicle with opinion-splitting looks,Rukus was not a vehicle that would appeal to Toyota’s typical mainstream audience. So we needed to develop a campaign that broke from the traditional mold and enticed a whole new type of Toyota buyer.

 
Australian Egg Corporation

Eggs4
Our Oddthinking process highlighted a key strategic opportunity – that there is a large group of consumers who don’t reject eggs on health grounds, but simply think they’re too complicated. So we needed to create a campaign that not only sold eggs as a healthy and delicious meal option, but one that is simple and cost effective for the whole family.
