Australia Post workers go above and beyond to ensure that everyone matters in the first campaign from The Monkeys since winning the account last year.
When Jamie Harrington has some pilates weights delivered to Braidwood Post Office, long-serving post office manager Bruce said he hoped they ‘worked out’.
Meanwhile, local postie Todd Thoroughgood not only delivers the post, but makes sure that ‘Uhu’ a blue and brown toy monkey is returned to its rightful owner. Maybe an nod to the agency behind the work?
It’s these everyday touches that are the foundations of Australia Post’s latest campaign, ‘Everyone Matters’, by The Monkeys.
It's the first campaign we've seen from The Monkeys Melbourne since winning the account last year.
Directed by Derin Seale of Finch, ‘Everyone Matters’ features five stories of everyday Australians and the many and varied ways Australia Post is a part of their lives.
Aside from Bruce and Todd, the spots feature a honey producer in Tasmania and a sugar cane farmer in Queensland.
The print component of the campaign also features portraits of everyday Australians captured around the country by photographer Cory White.
“This campaign illustrates what Australia Post does for our customers every single day: we focus on how everyone matters,” Australia Post head of enterprise marketing Anne Stout said.
The campaign centres on what drives us to make a difference in people’s lives; whether that’s making more flexible delivery choices or helping small businesses to expand into international markets, or being such an integral part of local communities that our delivery people would recognise, recover and deliver safely home a little boys’ stranded stuffed toy."
The Monkeys chief creative officer Ant Keogh said the films are humble yet powerful.
“We wanted to tell stories at a human scale, showing Australia Post’s role in the lives of all Australians, day to day,” Keogh said.
The campaign will roll out this week across broadcast, out of home advertising, digital, radio and press, and will also run on Australia Post social channels.
Dentsu X is the media agency behind the campaign, retained the account in July and also extending the scope of work.
