BHP’s first ads in three decades start to pay dividends as next stage rolls out
Just three months after launching its first mainstream advertising campaign in 33 years, BHP said it is already seeing positive results from the campaign as it rolls out the next stage.
Tony Cudmore, BHP’s group sustainability and public policy officer, told Mumbrella the next stage of the campaign was launching, moving the message from the Think Big positioning to focus on the role that BHP plays in different parts of the Australian community and economy.
“I would say I’m very encouraged would be the way I would put it,” Cudmore told Mumbrella of the launch.

“. . . one response to what our research has been telling us over the last few years which was that the company needed to do a better job of communicating with its stakeholders”.
Rhetoric, jargon and spin can’t disguise one irrefutable fact. BHP’s share price today is what it was 10 years ago.
