‘Bye old room…bye bye dunny’: AGL recognises the emotional toll of moving house
“Bye old room, bye naughty step, bye old swing, bye bye dunny.”
AGL’s latest campaign recognises the emotional toll of moving house, showing a young boy saying farewell to all of his favourite places around his home.
Luckily when the family arrives at their new house, his night light can be switched on and working – ready to make it feel like home.
The campaign seeks to communicate with consumers a greater sense of certainty around their energy service, including its ‘Power on Guarantee’ for homes to be connected on the day you move in.
Jamima White, AGL head of marketing, said: “This campaign marks a new direction in how we talk to our customers. Through ongoing market research, it struck us just how challenging moving to a new house can be and we wanted to provide reassurance at this challenging time for our customers. We tap into the emotional certainty movers crave, and represent our Power On Guarantee emotively as ‘Night lights on the day you move in’.”
Glen Dickson, CHE Proximity executive creative director, stated: “Moving is nerve-wracking. You leave the familiar for the unfamiliar. And it’s a little thing we love that makes a new house a home.”
The campaign launched with a partnership with Nine’s The Block, and will continue to roll out across OOH, digital and social.

Great example of finding a little detail, using the product, that brings home the big message with emotion . Agencies should spend more time looking for these examples instead of going strait to people doing quirky dancing because of the product. If your agency pitches you a quirky dancing idea, alarm bells should be ringing. You are being underserviced.
