New British Paints campaign proves any fool can make smart choices, via DDB Melbourne
DDB Melbourne has steered a new, light-hearted campaign that positions British Paints as the smart choice house-proud Aussie DIYers who perhaps haven’t made the smartest decisions in other areas of their lives.
Whether it’s a permanent inked reminder of an ex-girlfriend, or a sun-baked fool who “hasn’t always made smart decisions when it comes to UV protection”, either they can make the right paint choice – with British Paints 4 Seasons, naturally.
Anneliese Sullivan, senior copywriter at DDB Melbourne, said: “It’s great to bring some humour and heart to an iconic Aussie brand like British Paints. We know that choosing the right paint can be a stressful decision.
“But we think the dry humour in this campaign will really resonate with the army of Aussie DIYers out there in a meaningful way.”
Rachel Ryan, senior brand manager at Dulux, added: “Choosing the right paint can be a challenge for consumers.
“We believe the playful, memorable nature of this campaign speaks to a broad audience and leaves them with an understanding of our products’ key benefits, making their choice to select British Paints that much easier.”
The full campaign will feature across TV, BVOD, SVOD, online and social media.
