Together, Tourism Victoria and Publicis Mojo created the longest-running tourism marketing programme in the world. The eighteen-year-old ‘Jigsaw’ campaign is now its tenth phase, with the launch of a new chapter: ‘Play Melbourne’ – a story to deepen visitors’ appreciation of Melbourne’s unique creative sub-culture.

The campaign integrates loads of interactive and experiential elements, including a rich digital hub for all that’s hip and happening in the city, a delightfully intriguing iPhone app, and a chance each week for an entire year to Play Melbourne and win a spontaneous visit.

The campaign is self-supporting through Social, but we had to light the fuse somewhere – and light it we did, with a set of web ads springing from the Play Melbourne story. They’re an intriguing, interactive, upmarket and enticing bunch of rich and standard banners that drive tens of thousands of visitors to the site each time they run.

It was a pleasure and a real workout to be Digital CD on this job, and big thanks to everybody in the world who was involved in making this work: the inimitable JC and the indefatigable RI; Pete Bakacs for piccies; Brendan McMahon for engineering; Matt Houltham for early wrangling; Fracture for gorgeous Flash… oh, look, just… thanks, EVERYBODY.

Imagine an untouched piece of the purest land in the world, secured in your name – and the chance to pay it a visit.

Taking the iconic but globally tiny Steinlager Pure brand to the world was not going to be easy. Luckily, we came up with a plan that just might resonate with urban dwellers the world over.

We froze $40,000 in a two-tonne block of ice, surrounded it with txt-operated robots, and asked New Zealanders to set the robots to work via txt instructions that acted as donations.

A bit of clever animation transforms a big old SLR into a svelte new G Series full of great reviews; you then grab the photographer’s loupe to see just what the real world thinks of the camera, in detail.

A setup that leverages Virgin’s unique personality and familiar rock star personality to create what was at the time a totally unique customer retention community, pushing highly customised content and offers to Virgin Mobile customers – or should we say, members.

Not your ordinary website for not your ordinary beer: when Steinlager Edge debuted as the mid-strength beer for those living life to the full, we knew we had to pull something out of the bag to not only help explain the product benefit, but to cut through with an idea that actually added value to the web experience, rather than interrupting it.

In a world dominated by perceptions of carbonated beverages being “fizzy pop for kids”, Schweppes was not being consumed at adult occasions. Something resonant needed to happen to remind the audience of the timeless, adult sophistication of Schweppes. The web was the perfect medium to deliver content unashamedly targeted at adults. The team at Mojo [...]

As a precursor to the launch of a new campaign for Steinlager Pure, iconic words from the late Prime Minister of New Zealand, David Lange, were writ large in the sand on New Zealand’s shore.

Everyone has a mate who is a bit of a shambles in the morning.

We helped give them a bit of a wake up call – in the form of a personalised video from a no-nonsense character, who knows their name, mocks their morning mocha, and gives them a simple solution: wake up and drink Tararua Real Iced Coffee.

It might look safe and secure from the outside now, but there’s no reason to believe the hackers haven’t already been and gone…

Sometimes the sexiest thing you can do for a brand is make it easy for people to find it, understand it, like it, and buy it.
