In 2014, Australia faced the Blue Mountains bush fires. CGU Insurance customer, David Sonter, was one of the worst affected – his small business lost everything. Yet, just 12 months later, David had staged a remarkable recovery. So to share David’s success, Cummins&Partners teamed CGU Insurance with Australia’s number one-rating morning show, Sunrise, for an Australian in-program first.

The 2004 Boxing Day Tsunami ravaged 14 countries and is recognised as one of the worst natural disasters on record. Generous donations from Australians helped deliver ‘Care Packages’ of aid to over a million survivors. The problem – people don’t know where their donation dollars go. A decade later, on the anniversary of the tragedy at Australia’s biggest sporting event — the Boxing Day Test cricket match against India, one of the most effected countries — Cummins&Partners delivered another essential package: a Care Package of Thanks featuring 10,000 personalised thank you letters written by survivors. The campaign showed that a dollar given to Care today has a lasting impact on lives tomorrow.

Somewhere along the line, the competition has turned hardware soft. It’s hardware, not software. While some are comfortable selling soft furnishings like occasional throw cushions, Aussie retailer Home Hardware thinks a true hardware store should resemble one, not an extension of the hardware aisle in the supermarket. So listen to the harder, more knowledgeable you and do the job properly. This campaign invites Aussies to come to the place that’s giving hardware its balls back: Home Timber & Hardware.
