IsoWhey launches a new summer campaign encouraging Australians to find a real healthy way to lose weight via WiTH Collective
Weight loss management brand, IsoWhey, part of the BioCeuticals and the Blackmores Group, has launched a summer campaign via WiTH Collective, offering a healthy alternative to fad diets for Aussies looking to lose weight.
The full campaign launches on 21st November, with TV, online, in-store and social media.
Says Nathan Cheong, managing director, BioCeuticals: “With 30% less sugar than competitors, IsoWhey offers a healthy way to sustain weight loss. It’s a real alternative. While the rest of the industry champions the ‘before and after’ shot, our latest IsoWhey campaign focuses on what happens in between, when the vast majority of fad diets don’t provide the proper nutrition for a busy life. It’s why diets fail. By contrast, IsoWhey Weight Management is about staying strong with the right nutrition to get the most out of every day, and reaching your weight loss goals at the same time.”
Says Justin Hind, CEO, WiTH Collective: “Our method of operation on every brief is to get into the data and uncover the true insights within the category, product and customer. And the data reveals a category that is badly letting people down. When we asked people the worst thing about dieting, over 50% of people said it was the constant hunger and lack of energy. We believe there is a 95% failure rate because our busy lives and the majority of diets aren’t compatible. Nine in 10 of our target audience said they wanted a product to help them avoid energy loss while managing their weight. There is an acceptance that diets will fail. So we sought to portray Isowhey as a real healthy alternative to an industry where failure is the norm.”
Says Simon Fowler and Nicole Hetherington, the creative leads on the campaign, WiTH: “The more we looked into it, the world of fad diets is ripe for ridicule. It actually made us angry that some of these diets were set out as legitimate alternatives to healthy weight loss. So our film focuses on some of the more ridiculous. And yes, the Tissue Diet is actually a thing.”
WiTH Collective teamed up with the remarkable team at Revolver including director, Sarah Bishop.
Says Fowler and Hetherington: “Working with Sarah was fantastic. She got it straight away and added real comedic flair to the structure of the films. An awesome talent.”

This is not written by someone who has ever struggled with their weight…nor watched a Cannes reel.
2-bit campaign for a no-name client. Not surprised after all the pitches WiTH have lost lately… 11 in a row isn’t it? They were killing the digital space 2 years ago; have they turned into an ad agency now?
Really mining that data guys, and those insights: there are lots of fad diets that don’t work. Fuck me that’s insightful. And the creative. So rich in comedic flair.
Killing it, just killin it.
Oh dear.
Where’s the celebrity? Walhberg, Thorpe, Walken, Pitt, Anderson?
Not only are these guys fantastic people, they’ve also been awarded at Cannes (and other majors) multiple times. So while you may have done the former, you certainly haven’t done the latter. Take your sanctimonious, mom-blogging negativity and channel it into something worthwhile.
Well, it looks like the seeding strategy of robots in China watching it is working 15k views but 22 comments? As for the work, it’s just workman-like. Nearly every With Ad is someone talking to camera. And this one is the worst one yet.
Put shit up here and talk it up like its great and it gets
Rightly shitcanned, no matter how ‘fantastic the people’ or
How many awards they might have won in a past life at a decent agency.
So run along and play with the little kids on the swings if you and your friends don’t
Like the way the big boys talk to you.
i like it.
It’s campaigns like this that might explain why there appears to be a mass exodus happening from WiTH, or maybe that’s because the founders sold out…
@single_Guy – that’s probably why you’re still single…
I can’t believe it took that many people to put that rubbish out.
@@seriously – I have 15 lions to my name. and even if I didn’t I know crap when I see it
Absurdly bad on all fronts. Some egos need to be put on a strict diet of decent copy and better post production!
My wife’s right, it’s really bad.
I didn’t even need to watch the film,
the still image told me everything I needed to know.
@ben Or maybe it’s because working there is like being back at school.
And the headmaster is Patrick Bateman.
Another campaign that paints the ever ongoing picture of women in strugggle with their self image.. should of put a female creative on it.
@Schoolies – Holy shit that nearly had me in tears haha
so much hate, loving it…it zens me out! thanks all
people on Facebook seem to like it, you know ‘real consumers’ not you tiresome jilted posh boys
“So we sought to portray Isowhey as a real healthy alternative to an industry where failure is the norm.” Um, no you didn’t Justo. You plonked a poor product shot on the end of a truly excruciating ad. Surely you can’t be proud when you look at this. Surely?
To Seriously Said who said ‘i have 15 Lions to my name’-well Seriously if you are that successful why are you so embarrassed/fearful/cowardly about putting your oh so famous name to your post.
Seriously i think you are a nobody.
As a non-coward, you with or should i say me people need to wake up to yourselves. 17 finalists at adma and one conversion shows you cannot judge good work. So google some insights with your magic data, count your cash, and stop posting rubbish.
Wow. So many hurt feelings happening in the comments here. Makes me just want to give you a big hairy man hug and whisper ‘It’s ok. Daddy was just getting a packet of smokes. He still loves you.’
Tissue diet is funny. Imagine the budget wasn’t as funny. Well done on something that’s pretty decent for the media.
First thought idea. Been done many times…

@ Ben
Some major butt hurt coming through here from ex With staff perhaps? But where’s there’s smoke there’s generally fire. What’s this mass exodus you speak of?
With seem to be announcing new hires every second week.
Why be butt hurt? Put your energy into making something better not bitter.
Can’t say I’ve seen them announce any new hires recently. Can say I’ve seen a shit load of people leave though. Not sure if there’s ex With employees here, everyone posts under a pseudo name; but if there are, maybe they’re trying to expose what it’s really like there?
Now I know that imitation is the best form of flattery but this is just ridiculous…

Has there ever been a more direct rip-off of treatment and script. No new ideas and all that, but seriously…

Amazing. An absolute carbon copy. I’m amazed the talent-less band of thieves had the gall to put their names to the work.
