Australian Retirement Trust launches brand awareness campaign, via M&C Saatchi and Bohemia

Super fund Australian Retirement Trust (ART) hopes to help Aussies realise the ‘monstrous’ potential of their superannuation, via a new campaign from M&C Saatchi and Bohemia, that features a literal monster.

With an aim to build brand awareness and trust with Australians, ‘Awaken Your Super’ hopes to drive growth, beneficial to ART’s members.

It invites people to reappraise the relationship they have with their super, encouraging them to take control of their ‘monster’.

“Despite our size, we are an incredibly young brand in the financial landscape, and we need to rapidly build awareness and trust with Australians if we’re going to drive growth beneficial to our members. The creation of a campaign that gets people thinking differently about the relationship they have with their super, in a compelling and distinctive way, is fundamental to us achieving this ambition,” said ART’s executive general manager, marketing and digital, Simonne Burnett.

“In a category that struggles for differentiation, we’re immensely proud of where the work has landed and its potential to help Australians achieve better retirement outcomes.”

The campaign challenges the notion that for the majority of Aussies, superannuation isn’t seen to be as active, interesting or relevant as the rest of their money.

It shows that awakening your super ‘monster’ means taking control of the biggest investment of your life, which can help you realise your dreams for your future.

M&C Saatchi CEO, Michael McEwan, added: “Superannuation is the largest financial asset for many Australians after the family home, yet the powerful role it can play in our lives is too often overlooked.

“This work assumes a leadership stance and invites Australians to awaken their super and see what it’s capable of with ART. We are incredibly proud of the work and it’s a testament to the tight integrated team that brought it to life.”

Bohemia CEO, Paul Hutchison, concluded: “Working as a fully integrated media and advertising team has given us the perfect opportunity to harness the combined power of creativity and media to hand select monstrous media placements that enhance the ‘Awaken Your Super’ message.”

The campaign is live across TV, OOH, social, and bespoke integrations.
