    The challenge

    In 2020, every Canberran was directly affected by the sudden onset of COVID-19. CRE8IVE was proud to play our part to reassure Canberrans with a strong message of leadership and connection from the ACT Government.

    The strategy

    We identified the need for immediate messaging to empower all Canberrans to act towards a collective goal. The message needed to be clear and succinct. It was important that our message evolved to stay relevant.

    The process

    We created a brand mark that would feature on all future ACT Government COVID-19 news and updates. This was coupled with two videos, featuring genuine footage of Canberrans adapting in lockdown.

    The change

    The videos were immensely successful with two versions delivered; the full-length 60-second and a 30-second version. The shared experiences resonated with people and supported the ACT Government’s message of care, trust, leadership and authority.
