Mt Hotham repositions as resort for serious skiers in new campaign from Bloke
With the winter ski season getting underway Mt Hotham Ski Resort has launched a new campaign to reposition it as a destination for serious snowsports enthusiasts.
The new ‘Reach Your Peak’ campaign for Victoria’s highest ski resort has been created by Bloke and includes a new TVC shot from the perspective of a skier using a wearable goggles to superimpose details of other people on the slopes.

“Hotham is Victoria’s highest Ski Resort with a reputation for having the best and most challenging terrain in Australia,” explains Mike O’Rourke, Creative Partner at Bloke. “This campaigns taps into the need of every aspiring skier and snowboarder to push themselves harder and test their limits.”
He said the decision to use the graphics was based on the fact many skiers use wearable devices to track their performance when they are on the slopes.
“Bloke have brought a very insightful and original approach to all their work with Hotham, and this TVC captures the spirit of the place perfectly,” says Anthony O’Shea, head of marketing for Hotham & Falls Creek.
“The idea is also very flexible and will allow us to show the amazing skiing and snowboarding available on the mountain as the season progresses.”
Bloke’s clients include Australian National Maritime Museum, McGuigan Wines, Gerni and Scenic Tours.
For me this does not quite hit the mark. Very cheap to make. We read from left to right and so I did not even look at the graphics on the right hand side. My attention was drawn to the centre of the screen the whole time. This did not sell the noutain to me at all..

Yeah, could be any resort. Didn’t answer the question – why go to Hotham over another mountain.

I think the positioning makes sense, differentiates Hotham from the others and highlights what Hotham can uniquely offer. And the TVC delivers that feeling for me. Not a bad effort on what would be avery low budget.

Given I wrote the ‘Aim Higher’ line for Mount Hotham back in the mid-noughties all I can do is marvel at this dramatic ‘repositioning’. ‘Reach your peak’ says the pretty much the same thing.
Quite the quantum shift.

Why should I take my family there? Wheres the positioning? 75% of Hothams business would be families etc…… not advanced skiers……

Too James Bond (the Pierce Brosnan version) and not enough highlighting of the terrain, for serious skiers / riders. It looks like a video game and doesn’t do the resort offering justice.

Unfortunately. Nobody will see it and those who do won’t get it.

looks pretty flat to me more like beginner groomer runs, where are the mountains? peaks? – any serious skier will go to NZ for the same price (where they actually have mountains not hills)

Angus, let it go…
At least this gives me a sense of the runs at Hotham.
Solid Work

NZ for real skiing / boarding. It can even be cheaper and quicker to fly over there for a long weekend.
Thredbo, perisher, Bulla, Hotham, Falls; jazzing them up like this is merely polishing turds.

Gotta say it was done a lot better the first time around.
Particularly when it’s shot in NZ.
