Reimagining Australian rock band Spiderbait and their track ‘Calypso’.
The Benevolent Society has launched its second integrated brand campaign in collaboration with the creative and production agency Jack Nimble.
The stories created and produced by the hybrid agency aim to raise awareness about The Benevolent Society's support services.
“Our services empower people to live their lives, their way. The campaign illustrates how The Benevolent Society lives out our value of optimism and our approach to positive, strengths-based practices," The Benevolent Society director of communications & engagement Lisa Hresc said.
"It positions us as a contemporary option for people looking for excellent and innovative disability, aged care, and family services.”
The stories reimagine Australian rock band Spiderbait and their track ‘Calypso’, creating an instrumental version inspired by the experiences of The Benevolent Society’s clients.
The campaign airs across TV, BVOD, out-of-home, print, digital and social — and follows a series of everyday Australians highlighting how The Benevolent Society’s programs and services empower people to live life on their terms.
The stories feature an elderly man working with a physiotherapist to keep tending his garden, an autistic school child receiving speech therapy, and a First Nations family finding solace in a community hub centre.
Jack Nimble creative director Taylor Thornton said the campaign showcases commitment to standing out in a crowded category.
“We felt that charity content can drift into the depressing and spend too much time on the problem, but we wanted to continue to celebrate the skilled staff and carers and show how they empower their clients.
"We wanted to continue to challenge assumptions in the category by featuring a child with a non-visual disability receiving speech pathology for their autism, giving them the confidence to connect and communicate with their friends at school.”
