A West Australian Government initiative to tackle the state’s obesity problem has won the top award at the 2015 Marketing Science Ideas Exchange (MSiX) awards.

The LiveLighter campaign by Behaviour Change Partners won the Best Insight award and was named the Grand Prix winner at last night’s ceremony, hosted at The Powerhouse Museum by TV and radio personality James O’Loghlin.

Other winners at the inaugural awards celebrating the campaigns which demonstrate the best use of marketing sciences were Affinity in the Clever Data category, RadiumOne in the Best Use of Neuroscience category, Cummins&Partners in the Best Use of Behavioural Economics award and Liquid Interactive in Purchase Behaviour.

Bosses behind the LiveLighter campaign said the aim was to “shift the dial” on the “huge and growing problem” of two out of three West Australians being overweight or obese.

Heart Foundation WA and Cancer Council WA managed the campaign, which played on the power of disgust and the use of reference points to come up with the term ‘grabbable gut’. They used this across a series of TVCs and on a purpose built website.

In the past 12 months, 8 per cent of the WA population has visited the LiveLighter web site.
