HOSTPLUS celebrates life’s ‘pluses’ in a new campaign via Hardwire Agency Melbourne
In a dramatic departure from traditional superannuation advertising, HOSTPLUS’ latest campaign via Hardwire Agency Melbourne explores and celebrates the many positives of life.
Together with Exit Films director/producer team of Stephen Carroll and Tobi Webster, HOSTPLUS, the industry super fund for hospitality, tourism sport and recreation, has launched a new 60 second spot that attempts to make a powerful, distinct and emotional connection with members. A central theme of the campaign is a strong spirit of optimism that sees ‘pluses’ in even the smallest everyday things in the world – a spirit that looks forward and plans for success.”
The TVC is supported by cinema, press and web executions and will extend throughout the year with a range of compelling messages aiming to inspire members with simple actions they can take that allow them to achieve greater control of their financial future.
Says David Elia, HOSTPLUS chief executive officer: “The campaign seeks to reinforce that we are a safe, trusted, contemporary super fund that believes in giving our members every opportunity and confidence to take control, make the right choices and prosper in life.”

We have been looking forward to see what Host Plus does next. Stunning work.
The woman at 9 seconds looks like she’s just been xxxxed.
Great spot! Well done to all involved including Sibylla Budd who matched the beautiful pictures and music with a sublime voiceover.
