As part of the on-going integrated campaign we created for Salmat, 150, 12 inch, 3 kilo pink horses have just arrived at our front door… Why…? The Trojan horse was the first example of a triumphant, intrusive campaign. I mean, who wouldn’t let a pink horse through their door…!

Medibank Health Solutions

Medibank Health Solutions approached us to create a recruitment campaign aimed to drive doctors and nurses to their workplace health, immigration and travel clinics. As these roles are less intense then hospital or GP work, Medibank were looking for applicants who sought a more structured, less frantic career. Those who perhaps were new parents, studying, or closer to retiring. ‘Take back your everyday’ is about regaining control of your career, not working weekends and not having to deal with the unexpected. The ads appeared online and in medical journals around Australia.

Russell Investments

We’ve just launched an online and print campaign for Russell Investments new Helping Advisers website. This online knowledge hub has been developed to assist Russell’s financial adviser audience with any current and ongoing issues that might affect their practice or clients.

The site does ‘exactly what it says on the tin’ and is dedicated to just one thing…helping advisers. It is unapologetic in the fact that it offers no other service, and we built the campaign around this single minded proposition.

Macquarie Bank – Macquarie Wrap

Macquarie is Australia’s largest investment bank with more than $320 billion under management and operations in 28 countries. Stop.Edit. developed concepts and designs for collateral, trade advertising and events to relaunch and reposition the pioneering Macquarie Wrap investment platform. We introduced the concept of ‘simplexity’ to communicate the genius of the platform and the advisers who use it to deliver sophisticated client solutions. The concept was brought to life visually through a series of images of recognised pioneers – each a genius in his or her field – people who made the complex simple or the difficult look easy. Each image is composed of myriad repeating icons, for example, an image of Einstein built out of the simple digital repetition of his famous equation.

www.macquarie.com

Bell Direct

Bell Direct is Australia’s fastest growing online broker. Stop.Edit. developed a new brand and advertising concept for Bell Direct built around the voice of real Bell Direct customers. The testimonial quotes have become a new visual signature for Bell, rolled out in a major print and online campaign, and adapted faithfully in a TVC. The ‘real’ nature of the new brand idea is also making it easy to extend the idea across other aspects of the Bell Direct online customer experience.
