Description

For the last two years Sam Kekovich has made lamb Australia’s national meat, encouraging people to fight against unAustralianism (the worst possible insult for an Aussie) by having a lamb barbecue on Australia Day. But how could we keep the campaign new and fresh?

Execution

2007 is an election year in Australia, so we turned the traditional lamb barbecue into a political movement called The Australia Day Party. We aimed to generate even more media interest and controversy than previous years. The fully integrated campaign mimicked election advertising and included:-national 3-minute launch TVC filling an entire prime time ad break-two 15-second TVCs-90-second radio -POS materials parodying political posters-website - votelamb.com.au - with “How Australian are you?” quiz, and daily blog with pics from Sam’s “campaign trail” around Australia: meeting people, opening butcheries, and of course, kissing babies.
