Blockbusters | AMF
Strategy
Get parents and teens to combine their school holiday movie experience with a few games of ten-pin by showing that the blockbuster moments of movies can be experienced while bowling.
Background
Blockbuster movies are released in the school holidays and are tied to feel good moments and emotions. For this national AMF Bowling school holidays campaign, ten-pin bowling and the moments you can experience at AMF were positioned as movie blockbusters and placed as cinema advertising, as YouTube ads before movie trailers and across outdoor bus advertising.
Solution
AMF’s ten-pin bowling centres were primarily positioned around shopping malls with movie cinemas. Facebook community polls also suggested that bowling was something most people associated with the movies.
AMF required a campaign that would resonate with families, young adults, teens and kids, and that would drive customers to consider bowling as an addition to school holiday or weekend activities.
We took this knowledge and combined it with the consumer insight that ‘bowling lets you be your silly-self’. The “Moments’ campaign celebrated the magic movie-like moments that everyone has while bowling and included all-time classic moves such as the “pistol fingers” and “down-low-too-slow”. ‘Moments’ was rolled out across TV and cinema, outdoor and digital.
Results
Record number of lanes reserved across all Australian states leading into and during school holidays.

Lorna Jane Active Nation
Strategy
Transform the following of a sports fashion label into a community of engaged fitness advocates by empowering everyday women to share their fitness experiences and goals with their friends on Facebook and Instagram.
Background
The challenge was to motivate Australian women to change their attitude towards fitness.
Lorna Jane’s business needed to evolve it’s offering and expand to outgrow category challengers. The brand needed to evolve from being a retailer of sports wear, to a being multi-service fitness lifestyle. To do this we first commissioned research company Roy Morgan to conduct a poll revealing that while Australian women wanted to live active lives, over over half did no form of exercise.
We then motivated the nation to become more active by downloading a mobile utility, and by providing inspiration and motivational tips, running routes and celebrity endorsement.
