AUCKLAND, Today: Australia’s second-largest telecoms company Optus has launched a new brand campaign from roster agency Special Group New Zealand, exploring the idea that anything good in life, big or small, starts with saying “yes”.
Special Group CEO/CCO Tony Bradbourne said: “The Optus ‘yes’ is one of Australia’s most recognisable brandmarks, second only to the Qantas kangaroo.
“They’ve been using it for almost 30 years. We wanted to bring a little bit of new meaning to it, by exploring what saying ‘yes’ can lead to.
“I’m very proud that Special’s working with Optus. They are a great company with great ambition.”
Optus has over employees and serves 6 million customers every day. It’s the first piece of work from Special NZ since they were added to the Optus roster in March.
“‘Yes’ features stories in film, posters, publishers, broadcasters and social platforms across Australia.”
Optus marketing director Matt Williams said: “The ambition of our new campaign is simple – we want to embody the attitude of what ‘yes’ represents. As we all know, having the optimism and commitment to say ‘yes’ is the start of new possibilities and real change.”
“The tvc is part of a larger programme of work aimed at clearly defining what ‘yes’ means for our customers, underpinned by clear and compelling reasons to choose us. An approach built from our new corporate strategy, purpose and vision.”
Special Group head of strategy Rory Gallery said: “It starts with yes is a fantastic platform that will enable us to celebrate an attitude that connects with Australia for years to come.”
Yes is the start of a nationwide campaign featuring stories will run in film, posters, publishers, broadcasters and social platforms across Australia.
