Optus has unveiled the final film in its #GDayADay series featuring Arianna Huffington with her old friend and former Australian prime minister Julia Gillard.

The latest film in the series, created by TBWA\Sydney, sees Huffington and Gillard reflecting on how people have stayed positive during this time and the importance of mental wellbeing organisations.

“G’Day A Day launched in the midst of COVID-19 to inspire people to stay connected," Optus head of marketing Mel Hopkins says.

"In this last instalment we are delighted to bring together two fearless female leaders in conversation about the need, now more than ever, for empathy and collaboration." 

Throughout the campaign Optus has been sharing the stars’ video-calls as they provide their own positivity tips and encourage other Australians to do the same; check in on a friend, family member or even a work colleague.

The familiar faces that have featured in the campaign include Olympian Ian Thorpe, Formula One driver Daniel Ricciardo, Paralympian Ellie Cole, singer Michael Bolton and Ray Meagher, better known as Alf Stewart.

“At the heart of this campaign is the idea of staying connected and optimistic, especially in uncertain times," Hopkins says.

"These two inspiring women, who have had such an impact on politics, media, business and wellness, are the perfect finale for optimism as we move toward recovery.”
