Shire Therapy Group

Helping small hands do big things!

Shire Therapy Group is a paediatric therapy centre for families offering a multidisciplinary team of allied health professionals under one roof.

I was engaged by Shire Therapy Group to create an identity for which would reflect the values for the business, the services offered and position them as a frontrunner in the children’s therapy category.

So I did just that… by creating a unique brandmark by combining growth (leaves), caring (heart) and partnership (hands) into one flowing symbol. Using a soft calming colour palette and incorporating a fun pattern into the branding (that the kids just love), the end result was an instant success among The Shire community.

Keeping in with the theme, I then developed icons for each therapy offered to communicate and strengthen the multidisciplinary team of allied health professionals at Shire Therapy Group.

Fiji Airways

Fiji Airways connects Fijians everyday through their Fiji Link domestic service.

Whether it’s bringing families together on their special day, a cheeky surprise for grandma or travelling for work, Fiji Link will get you there.

Now with more comfort, more places and more connections, I was enlisted to write stories to emotively convey their new proposition.

I did this by interweaving 3 stories into the hero TVC. These stories have also been used in isolation to re-enforce the message across TV and social.

Bowers & Wilkins

Bowers and Wilkins produce high-end audio equipment and sort to reward not only their customers but also the retail staff who sell their product. The Amazing Sound. Incredible Gift. promotion did just that.

Launching the campaign with train and taxi advertising as well as online and in-store POS, consumers were able to redeem gifts from Thomas Sabo, TW Steel and Chaffey Bros. Wine Co via the custom built customer rewards website.

The retail staff promotion was also run via a custom staff site, where they could uploaded proof of sales and redeem gift vouchers.

Build Your LEGO Christmas

Steering away from their traditional play theme specific Christmas messaging, LEGO wanted a brand campaign that leveraged the memories of playing with LEGO as a child to broaden their messaging whilst highlighting the play factor for the kids of today.

Whilst singing Christmas carols and building LEGO with my kids, I ended up with a star in my hands... and right then and there, the 'Build your LEGO Christmas Campaign' was born.

Centered around the TVC which tells the story of a young boy struggling to find something for the top of the Christmas tree, until his sister surprises him and builds a star out of LEGO bricks. The campaign combines the imagination of a child building with LEGO and the tradition of placing the star on top of the Christmas tree.

The TVC is designed to evoke a sense of nostalgia and remind people of the value LEGO can bring to families at Christmas through the joy of building.

Equal Next

To launch Equal Next into the market, we teamed up with Fitness First and created the ‘Guilt Factor. Zero.’ Campaign. 

The campaign communicated that Equal Next is not just for your coffee or tea, but perfect for use in cocktails, sprinkled over cereal and fruit or wherever you needed that extra sweetness. And as a bonus, it tasted great minus the calories.

The campaign included Fitness First TVC, Digital oOh, Digital Banners, Sampling and Traditional Advertising (magazine and newspaper).

Fred Hollows Foundation

The Fred Hollows Foundation has a very clear goal: putting an end to avoidable blindness in developing countries.

We were briefed to develop two concurrent campaigns with the same visual feel yet different messaging to determine which message resonated with their intended audience. 

I developed two messages, the first with a 'direct donate' CTA and the second with a 'learn more' CTA.

Both campaigns were successful with the 'direct donate' CTA slightly outperforming the 'learn more' campaign.

LEGO DUPLO

To capture the attention of parents with pre-school aged children, we created the “Big LEGO bricks for little hands” campaign to communicate that LEGO DUPLO is everything parents love about LEGO, only with big bricks for little hands.

This is the first time LEGO has ever locally developed a campaign, a shift away from using global creative to ensure the product range, visual and messaging resonated and engaged with Australia and New Zealand parents and gift-givers.

The campaign included TVC, Press, oOh, Digital Display, Social, POS and other integrated in-store creative.

Two Pairs

Great things come in pairs; blue cheese and fig, chocolate and chilli, and of course Champagne and oysters………But Two Pairs? Even better.

CyberSmart

Cybersmart is committed to helping young people have safe, positive experiences online and encouraging behavioural change, where a generation of Australian children act responsibly online—just as they would offline.

Talking in their language was the most appealing and quickest way to get the message across to the kids of today.

I created a low budget outdoor and online campaign using the most commonly used abbreviations, crafted out of words, to capture their attention, make them aware of their online behaviour and the consequences it can have now and in the future.

The campaign included oOh and Digital Display.

The Championships

The Championships was inaugurated in 2014 as the “Grand Finals” concept to feature and showcase the very best of Australian racing as the jewel in the town of Sydney’s Autumn Carnival.

With the event being in its introductory year, the primary objective was to increase intrastate, interstate and international visitation to NSW specifically for the The Championships. 

To promote both The Championships and NSW as a destination, we produced a 28 page insert for Sydney, Brisbane, Canberra and New Zealand newspapers, with over 5 million inserts being distributed in the months leading up to the event.

Department of Immigration

It is the responsibility of all Australian employers to employ, refer and contract legal workers.

Australian employers are expected to take a reasonable number of steps to make sure they are not employing, referring or contracting illegal workers or suffer the consequences of a potentially large fine.

We created a simple campaign to inform employers of the new penalties targeting certain industries where illegal workers are common, as it’s hard for employers to confirm their visa status.

The campaign included Traditional Advertising (magazine and newspaper), oOh, Print, Digital Banners and Radio.

Go Snowhere Else

In a joint initiative between the Government’s tourism and major events agency, Destination NSW, Tourism Snowy Mountains and the region’s four alpine resorts, Charlotte Pass, Perisher, Selwyn and Thredbo, we were briefed to create a digital campaign to drive visitation during winter.

The Go Snowhere Else campaign conveys that the Snowy Mountains is the perfect location for a winter break.

The campaign also shows that competing businesses can work together to achieve the goal of growing the visitor economy, which is vital to the region’s future.

Marie Claire - Body Image Campaign

Airborne was one of 6 agencies to be invited by Marie Claire to produce an advertisement encouraging women to start loving their bodies.
