Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation has launched its annual ‘Frocktober’ fundraiser with a new look and feel, created by Silver Lining who won the creative pitch back in June.
The refreshed campaign identity will run across street furniture, large format, workplace and shopping centre media, street posters, digital, social and press, supported by PR activations and a radio campaign.
Ovarian Cancer Research Foundation’s senior communications director Avalee Weir said from grassroots beginnings, Frocktober has raised millions for ovarian cancer research.
"This year we decided it was time to more closely align this highly successful fundraiser with the OCRF brand and capitalise on its potential as a ‘movement’," said Weir.
"Ovarian cancer is still the most lethal reproductive cancer, with a five-year survival rate that languishes below 50%. We say - frock that! The relaunch of Frocktober is an exciting new chapter. We hope this makeover of the campaign will encourage more people to ‘frock’, raise more money, and drive greater awareness for this important cause.”
Silver Lining MD Jonny Clow said Frocktober has always had a cult following and after 17 years, it’s great to look at ways to broaden its appeal.
"This year the team have worked hard to democratise the frock, enabling more workplaces, groups and even men to participate," said Clow.
"The generosity and support it receives from the media, ambassadors and Frockers is a testament to the passion Australians feel working toward a world without Ovarian Cancer.”
