Australia Post launches integrated ‘Declare your independence’ campaign via GPY&R, Melbourne
Australia Post has launched a new campaign, via GPY&R Melbourne, across TV, digital, social and in-store to promote a range of products for teenagers.
Created by GPY&R and directed by Plaza Films’ Paul Middleditch, the two TVCs are the first of their type from Australia Post to target young adults in the company’s 200 year history.
As every teenager knows, there’s nothing more embarrassing than your own mum or dad. Thankfully, Australia Post’s Keypass Proof of Age Card and Load&Go Reloadable Visa Prepaid Card give teenagers a fighting chance to be more independent from their folks, and they give parents peace of mind knowing their kids’ transition to independence is made easier with Australia Post.
Says Megan Hair, marketing and communications manager at Australia Post: “This is a new and exciting campaign for Australia Post. It is the first time we have targeted the youth segment and we think the TV commercials GPY&R have created and developed will appeal not only to youth but also to parents. We are very excited and looking forward to a positive customer response from this campaign.”

This makes me feel funny in the pants. In a good way. Is there any other way?
Classic Ditch.
Good. Well done boys.

very funny. well written. well executed.
I’m still waiting to feel funny in the pants but I really like this.
Nice job, good to see some classic comedy tv getting around.
Why is it that so many ads use this style of VO and devise at the end…?
Nice work.
When did GPY&R get the Post business off Clems and Oglivy??
A big win if they have, thought the media would have picked it up.
Anyone??
Sorry,Australia Post proof of age card. Seems like the first sinister steps towards an identity card.
@ian so the NSW and other state government proof of age cards, seniors cards, Medicare cards, driver licenses, they are all sinister steps towards identity cards too? Next they will be giving away tinfoil hats.
Congrats Joe and Psembi on another great piece of work.
Surprised Post signed these off. Entertaining but way off brand
I don’t think teenagers give a monkeys about Australia’s posts brand. This is funny. Kids will think so too. Job done
Interesting if for no other reason that it might suggest a shift for the brand itself. Could certainly do with modernising…,
Great ad. Well done to all involved.
