"Continue to be at the heart of every life moment that matters to you."
BlueCare, Australian providers of aged care services, has launched a heartwarming campaign via newly appointed creative and strategy partner, BCM Group.
The campaign – A Chorus of Care – features BlueCare customers and carers sharing in heartfelt moments together along with their loved ones as they sing a new rendition of Australian anthem, “As the Days Go By”.
The touching creative is the first collaboration since BCM Group was appointed by UnitingCare last month and forms part of BlueCare’s new brand platform to put customers ‘At The Heart of It’ in celebration of 70 years of people, passion and places.
Natalie Hodgskin, group manager, brand & marketing at UnitingCare Queensland, said this campaign connects the purpose and meaning behind the ‘blue-hearted’ service the company is known for – in an authentic way.
“Our new campaign brings to life a customer insight about the value of meaningful relationships and how, with BlueCare’s support, you can continue be at the heart of every life moment that matters to you," said Hodgskin.
“By using our own BlueCare people to the tell this story in an emotionally powerful way, we have ensured our unique proposition connects emotionally and in doing so – is memorable, distinctive, and stands out in the category”.
Phil McDonald, partner and MD at BCM Group, said BlueCare holds a strong legacy of trust for many families and it’s one that’s built on genuine compassion and care.
"BlueCare is known as an icon in aged care and we wanted to evoke this with an equally iconic Australian song. We found just that in ‘As the Days Go By'," said McDonald.
“Recreating the song with a chorus of BlueCare customers, staff, and volunteers shaped something equally emotional and powerful. It’s completely authentic and truly brings the heart of the brand to life.”
A Chorus of Care will be rolled out across multiple channels including TVC, OOH, radio, digital media and social and is launched alongside a brand visual refresh developed by Principals for BlueCare’s 70th year.
