  • WHAT WE DO

    We believe that 'doing good' and realising commercial results are not mutually exclusive opportunities.

     

    We believe brands achieve better commercial results by positively impacting the lives of their current and potential customers.

     

    We believe every brand can make a positive change in peoples' lives...from content that invokes a smile on their face to a brand experience that creates a lifetime memory and is shared with friends and family.

     

    Positive experiences create and nurture brand advocates and, as a result, generate better ROI.

    New South Wales Health: Make Healthy Normal Challenge

    Brands for Better created the consumer engagement strategy for New South Wales Health; "Make Healthy Normal" campaign.

     

    Our goal was to educate people about the simple healthier decisions they can make everyday that will have a positive long term impact on their health. We accomplished this by inviting consumers within shopping centres to participate in a gamified experience that encouraged people to undertake physical activity as they learned.

     

    We created a cycling themed video game, using bespoke interactive technology, that tested people on their knowledge of healthy decisions (water v soft drink; orange v orange juice, stairs v the lift) with varying degrees of difficulty. Participants had to pedal and steer to collect the healthy behaviour icons in the game.
