BRUT

 

Brut antiperspirant deodorants hold the number two position in the Australian market in APD share, gained primarily through the original fragrance, available in the green can.  The brand launched a variety of new fragrances and more contemporary packaging with a view to refuel their customer pipeline as the population aged.

This reposition and re-launch resulted in a refreshed marketing campaign, of which the brief was to contemporize the brand, making it form in the consideration set of males 15 to 39, who considered themselves masculine, powerful and confident.

With a budget that would not allow for extensive TVC placement, TSE were empowered to identify activity that would allow scale and relevant positioning in front of this male target.  Enter the NRL and Channel 9 broadcast, and Brut became a solus sponsor of Sunday football programming which included dedicated brand segments across three specific broadcasts, which included Man of the Match Naming Rights & the Brut Big Hits competition.  The campaign has gained significant momentum and recall, and has been supported by a large scale sampling campaign.

ARRIVE ALIVE

 

Arrive alive is the Motor Accidents Authority of NSW (MAA) road safety program for young people.  The MAA is concerned about the over-representation of young people aged 17 to 25 in road crashes.  Young drivers in this age group are at a higher risk of crashing due to inexperience, attitudes to driving and a tendency towards risk taking behaviour.

Under the communication platform of Arrive alive, TSE have worked closely with the MAA in developing a very effective role model education campaign across target rich sporting environments, utilising the appearances of elite athletes in schools.

Arrive alive have established partnerships in rugby league, including five NRL Clubs, the NRL Finals Series and the schoolboys premier rugby league tournament across the country, the Arrive alive Cup.  These partnerships have allowed for strong message opportunities through the Arrive alive C.A.R. program (Challenging Attitudes to Risk), including over 400 school visits to 20,000+ secondary students in NSW.
 

Of more recent times, Arrive alive have also struck a partnership with the Central Coast Mariners A-League Club.  This partnership is also based on utilising role models, and the ‘What Makes a Good Driver’ program.
