Pepsi’s largest ever experiential sampling campaign in Australia
150 + days of live activity, across multiple venues and channels, nationally, resulting in 122k individual taste challenges being completed. Competing against full sugar Coke, Australia took up the challenge to choose which cola they preferred, and Pepsi Max won. As well as this, we handed out over 150k full size cans, took over multiple media spots, and activated the 2019 Arias.
Since it’s inception, Obela has had a prodigious commitment to experience based marketing, knowing they have a far superior product to that of their competitors. This commitment and belief in the tactic has seen Obela reach number 1 in the category and achieve a household penetration in excess of 15%.

5 years of sponsorship & event partnership with Colgate Optic White
For the past 5 years we have designed, produced and curated Colgate Optic White’s naming rights sponsorship of Spring Carnival at Royal Randwick racecourse. From experiential activations, marquee design & facilitation and hospitality, to influencer management and social media reach. Over the sponsorship, Colgate Optic White has gone from an unrecognised racing partner, to having the third most on course awareness, only behind TAB and Moet. In conjunction with the race day activity, we’ve activated all associated Race Day assets and channels, resulting in a yearly 360 IMC that has delivered year on year best OW sales results during the period.
Reformulations are fraught with risk around consumer rejection, so Colgate wanted to ensure that they were on the front foot, communicating exactly why the formula had changed, and how this had made the number one toothpaste, even better. To do this, we created a multi channel activation using both in store and experiential activity. In store was utilised to be at the POP and educate as to why the formula had changed and to drive sales and at home trial. To help incentivise purchase, we ran an ‘upgrade’ promotional mechanic whereby if consumers chose to upgrade their toothpaste to the new Colgate Total, they had the chance to win one of $10k worth of ‘upgrade’ prizes. In conjunction to this, we ran an experiential activation across key mall locations, where we built a VR experience that immersed consumers into the new Colgate Total technology, in a fun and engaging way. We also distributed 80k free samples, to drive risk free trial and encourage future purchase next time they were in store.
50,000 + KIND bars distributed to those who needed them most, during the global pandemic
For a brand that has built itself as the largest snack bar company in the UK and America through physical experience-based sampling, Covid-19 threatened to derail their 2020 marketing plans. In a matter of days, we had devised and launched the Kindness Delivered platform, seeded it through digital and social, and were inundated with delivery requests, nationally. Not only have we been able to help deliver samples and trial during a very difficult time, but most importantly, KIND was able to help a vast amount of people who needed it most.
