In a blow to the local industry, BankWest media is to be consolidated under parent company Commonwealth Bank’s media contract with Ikon Communications. Starcom WA has booked all WA media for the bank for the past two years.
Starcom WA managing director Alan Matthews said the move wasn’t unexpected following the Commonwealth’s acquisition of BankWest at the end of 2008.
“I think we’ve done a pretty fair job over the past couple of years…We were on a fee with BankWest so it’s not terribly destructive in terms of our bottom line but it’s still disappointing.”
Matthews said the move was to take effect from mid-February.
The Commonwealth Bank bought BankWest from UK-based HBOS at the end of last year as HBOS started to feel the effects of the global financial crisis.
Starcom Mediavest Group picked up the BankWest national media account from the beginning of 2007 following a tender the previous October. As part of the arrangement, local media was booked by the Starcom WA office.
Ironically, Ikon is owned by STW Group, which also owns The Brand Agency and Maxus, BankWest’s previous creative and media agencies.
BankWest moved its creative account from The Brand to Host in Sydney in 2007 when it embarked on an aggressive expansion in the eastern states. That strategy was abandoned when HBOS ran into trouble and itself was acquired by Lloyds Banking Group.
At this stage it is believed Host is continuing as BankWest’s creative agency. The Commonwealth uses San Francisco agency Goodby Silverstein & Partners for its creative work.

With the Australian economy on the verge of going into recession, this
is not the time to dampen economic activity by imposing advertising
bans on the business community, according to the country’s peak
marketing agency body, the Advertising Federation of Australia (AFA).
“Economists and businesses the world over recognise that to prosper through the tough times you need to keep advertising - and maintain the ability to advertise your products. And yet now, on the verge of a recession, we are confronted by the Federal Government’s Preventative Health Taskforce (PHT) proposing ad bans to combat obesity and the over consumption of alcohol and calls for similar bans by two State Governments,” said Mark Champion, Executive Director of the AFA (pictured).
“It’s all very well for the Federal Government to commit to spend close to 20 billion dollars to stimulate the economy, but it makes no sense to then go and restrict the ability of companies to advertise and market products – especially at a time like this,“ he said.
“And we now know that banning ads in an attempt to control obesity and binge drinking don’t work and actually damage the economy.”
Research recently conducted by Frontier Economics (and co-funded by the AFA) has exposed the failure of ad bans internationally. That research also highlights that advertising prohibitions drive discounting of products and inhibit product reformulation and innovation – defeating the intent of such bans.
The Federal Government’s PHT report calls for a ban on the advertising of certain foods from early morning to mid evening on television, and draconian restrictions of similar advertising in other media.
In addition, the PHT report recommends advertising bans on alcohol products, as well as banning alcohol discounting and sponsorship.
As well as the proposals from the PHT, the South Australia Government is proposing bans on what foods can be advertised during children’s programmes on television and the Queensland Government is proposing similar measures.
“The industry believes Government should be trying to stimulate marketing and advertising as part of its rolling package of measures, rather than dampening it, “ said Mr Champion.
“Agencies, and I’m sure marketers, would value the opportunity to sit down with State or Federal Governments to work through the options on how businesses can be encouraged to market their way out of a downturn instead of being forced to batten down the hatches. And we’ve got some good ideas on how this can be achieved,” he said.
The Australian marketing and media industry is estimated to generate more than 30 billion dollars per annum of the country’s GDP.

Gatecrasher has pulled off a major coup upstaging 303 and The Brand Agency to win the Burswood Entertainment Complex account. Burswood has been with The Brand since 2001 and is estimated to be worth in excess of $4 million.The Brand MD Steve Harris confirmed the loss saying they were "naturally very disappointed to loose the business after eight and a half good years working on the account."
Gatecrasher MD Tony Scampoli (left) said they always had a good feeling following every stage of the review and were overjoyed by the news: "This is a very significant blue-chip win for us. You never know with these things, but were did feel that we put in a good performance at both stages of the review. I felt it was the strongest pitch the agency has ever put together and it's great for everybody at the agency that we have been appointed."
Chilling out in the surf and lazing in the sun tends to make your worries disappear pretty fast. Well, except one. Where do you hide your wallet, phone and sunnies while you’re in the water?Marketforce's experiental arm Traffik WA has taken SGIO’s Unworry campaign to Perth’s beaches with the Unworry beach lockers.
You simply fill out a tag with your name, phone number and the possessions that you want looked after and
the guys will assign you a locker to keep your valuables in. Traffik WA managed the entire project, from having the impressive looking trailer designed and manufactured, to seeking permission from the respective city councils, and they are currently manning it at selected Perth beaches over summer.
There are 120 lockers on the trailer and they’re a decent size at 40cm3, big enough to hold a backpack or
handbag. The trailer is making appearances at selected Perth beaches between 10am and 4pm most days
of summer and the service is free.
Behind the idea is Marketforce's Andrew Chu and Ryan Albuino and Traffik's Brian Murphy.
The Brand Agency has created the next iteration of Western Power’s ‘Beat the Peak’ campaign, first launched by 303 a couple of years ago.The TV and press campaign created by Josh Edge and Rikki Burns, and directed by Al Moore from Capitol Films, is a complete departure from the original ‘traffic jam’ analogy spot, focusing instead on the humble thumb and its power to do good.
According to Brand Agency Director, Colin Mackay-Coghill, the original campaign had done a really good job of raising awareness of the issue but the task this time has changed: “ Research indicated very high awareness levels of the ‘Beat the Peak’ message but awareness was no longer translating into action. The single biggest contributor to peak energy use in WA from February to March is air-conditioning and, apart from getting people to turn them off, which is unrealistic, the most effective solution is getting people to turn their air-conditioners up to 24 degrees. The ‘Thumbs’ campaign was conceived to do this in a simple, single-minded and engaging way”.
Also of interest is the media strategy which, in addition to the standard schedule, incorporates a tactical component activated specifically by the weather.
According to Maxus Managing Director Glenn Hodgkin, “ Given the obvious fact that peak energy use increases in direct proportion to the temperature, we wanted to match our activity to spikes in temperature, so we’ve included a ‘Thermal-Response’ component which only activates when the temperature hits 30 degrees. This component comprises a 15 sec TVC, and live reads on Nova, Channel 9 weather and the Australian Traffic Network, all of whom have been fantastic at helping us make this work."

The campaign launches this Sunday, January 25th.
A nice opportunity for Perth agencies to help a local charity...
SBS will create a Foundation to be custodian of $2 million worth of television airtime which will be donated to support charities and charitable causes, SBS Managing Director Shaun Brown announced today.
“While SBS has always been a strong supporter of charities, the SBS Foundation will ensure that our support truly makes a difference to the aims and ambitions of a small number of not-for-profits,” Shaun Brown said.
“SBS will dedicate significant airtime and resources towards a more targeted television campaign for a select group of charities who have a synergy with SBS’s Charter.
“A dedicated SBS committee will assess each application against published criteria and choose the charities that the SBS Foundation will support for a 12 month period.”
SBS today released guidelines and called for applications from charities interested in getting support from the SBS Foundation. SBS will select partners across a range of categories including:
Creative/Arts
Multicultural
Indigenous
Environmental
Health
Regional
Sport
Applications for support from the SBS Foundation close at 5pm on Friday 27 February 2009 and the successful charities will be announced before 1 April 2009.
The guidelines for the SBS Foundation can be found at www.sbs.com.au/future.

Gatecrasher, 303 and incumbent The Brand Agency are still waiting to hear from Burswood Entertainment Complex on an agency appointment. A decision had been expected prior to Christmas, however this was then delayed until the new year. It is believed a recommendation on the appointment has been made and this now has to be signed off by senior management.The review was a full creative pitch. The first stage involved an extensive credentials pitch followed by a creative presentation in response to a creative brief.
This is something that The West Australian has been trying to inspire for ages, but Perth agencies have been slow on the uptake. Tactical ads. Maybe, it's too hard to sell quickly through the account service and client teams. Most of the time they are simple headline ads that appear the day after an event of a scandal. When done well the ads get noticed and increasingly become viral and draw lots of comments from around the world.The Glue Society did it for IKEA when John Howard spent $3000 on a chair. TCM also created on when the Hollywood screenwriter's strike was announced.
And Euro RSCG Sydney has created a banner ad for Reckitt Benckiser’s Veet Hair Removal cream. The ad simply says “Goodbye Bush” and appeared in the Daily Telegraph and Herald Sun during the coverage of President Obama’s inauguration. It's not the greatest tactical ad ever but it has already being circulated virally and on blogs.
Campaign Brief can't recall a good/bad or average Perth example of a tactical ad. Can you?
303 CEO Nick Cleaver is not permanently relocating back to Sydney."The critical mass of our agency is in Perth. The head office is in Perth as is the finance department. All our board meetings are in Perth. And I continue to be based in Perth and heavily involved in the management of the agency," said Cleaver as he denied increasing speculation this week that he was moving back to his home town.
Cleaver took up the CEO role at 303 in 2007 and quickly lead the agency's acquisition and successful growth of their Sydney agency. This role has seen him continually travel between both offices.
Cleaver stressed that his responsibilities remain unchanged and he was very involved in both offices.
303 has created two new radio campaigns over the past month. The first campaign titled 'Mutant Bargains' promotes the annual IKEA January Sale. It was created by Richard Berney and Mark Fretton and produced at Soundbyte.
Hear spot one.
Hear spot two.
The second campaign from the agency is for Red Rooster that supports their extensive television campaign that features Tom Gleeson interviewing New Yorkers to find out what they know about Red Rooster. Mal MacLean wrote the spots and Brad Habib at Soundbyte was the producer.

Agencies with larger government accounts are in for a tough time over the next year with the State Government instructing government departments to cut back ad spend by 15 per cent.
WA Business News reported that in addition to the 15 per cent cut, the use of consultants was also being reigned in by $5 million. Business News reported that the State Government is looking to save around $6.4 million from it's advertising budgets this year. Read the full story here.

303 has picked up the Art Gallery of Western Australia. Says 303 Perth Managing Director Alan Taylor: “Naturally, the Art Gallery has always been highly supportive of creativity, so this is a great creative opportunity for us. Stefano Carboni’s appointment heralds a new era and it is great to be partnering with the Gallery in this exciting period. Our first task will be to devise a communications campaign for the exhibition THING beware the material world and we will also be looking closely at a digital strategy.”
THING will be a bold exhibition of furniture, lighting, sculpture and photography that celebrates the human impulse to shape and re-shape the world around us and challenge perceptions of what design can be. It opens on 18 April 2009.
Carboni was recently appointed the Gallery’s new Director. He was previously curator and administrator in the Department of Islamic Art at New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art and Visiting Professor at the Bard Graduate Centre.
The appointment is for a three year period. The Art Gallery was previously with Marketforce.

If customers respond positively and fill out the membership form, they receive a free ticket to watch the Emirates Western force take on the Canterbury Crusaders at a game just prior to the Australia Day long weekend.

Campaign Brief's recent issue carried our annual poll of Perth's creative directors to highlight the best work of the year. Here we repeat the views of the CDs from Perth's three largest agencies. Did they get it right? Did they miss anything?
ANDREW TINNING – MARKETFORCE
Let’s be honest ladies and gentlemen, it’s been a tough twelve months - particularly the last quarter - and I think you’d have to be blind and deaf not to acknowledge that it’s been reflected in the work that the local industry has produced as a result. Whether you attribute this to a lower strike rate due to less opportunity driven by less volume, or to a new conservatism spawned by the global credit crunch, the end result is the same: ’08 wasn’t a vintage year for the local creative juice. My Gran always said if you’ve nothing particularly good to say then don’t waste your words, save them until you do. So with that in mind, here we go.
The Graffiti stuff from Cooch was nice, particularly the ‘handcuffs’ piece on the back of the train seat.
The IKEA stickers on the roadside junk wasn’t bad. A bit scammy but at least they had a go.
The national obesity campaign was nice solid work; well thought out and well produced. No doubt it will be very effective. Unfortunate coincidences aside, the RAC TV was beautifully crafted. I liked the Office of Road Safety ‘Lose your license in a flash’ spot; great soundtrack. And the IKEA TV wasn’t bad either, which is the way it should be given the pedigree that comes with that client.
From the airwaves came the Perth Zoo campaign, which was a (animal) cracker.
And from the digital realm, I liked the Longtail invite that involved sending in a caricature of yourself - very charming. Beyond these and a few things we did that I’m proud of, I can’t really think of much more to write home to Mum about.
Next year will be a real test for the local industry. If you listen to the doom merchants the toughest times are still to come (Jesus I’m beginning to sound like one of them!). Time to dig deep boys and girls. Stay focussed and make the most of everything that comes your way. All good things must come to an end but fortunately the same goes for all things bad. It’s a bit cloudy out there at the moment but hopefully there’s a silver, or even better a gold lining not too far away.
LINDSAY MEDALIA - 303
As always, there was lots of good radio on offer. Brand’s Zoo campaign was arguably the best. In print, I liked Marketforce’s seatbelt X-Ray work. My ambient vote went to Cooch for their ‘handcuffs’ bus seat backs. I did struggle with the best of TV. Perhaps that’s more a function of my fading memory.
CRAIG BUCHANAN – THE BRAND AGENCY
2008 has been a good year for our industry in terms of the work. The Crimestoppers ad that won the Caxton Competition was a ripper, the Office of Road Safety ‘X-Ray’ poster was a stunning piece as was the ‘Play Room Educational Toys’ campaign out of Rare; it was a real pity the guys didn’t pick up a Caxton. As far as TV goes, the IKEA work has kept a consistent tone of voice and continues to surprise. The production values are very high and would compete with anything world wide in terms of direction.
My favourite though is the ‘How do you measure up?’ campaign. Being in the target group of 40 something with 3 kids and an expanding girth it really hit home. Got me off my butt and back on the bike and thinking seriously about eating better. I doubt whether it will do well as far as creative awards go but maybe that says more about the irony of awards than the work itself. I hope I’m wrong as it deserves to be recognised for it’s cut-through, simplicity, relevance and effective strategy. It was also extremely well directed and the talent selection was spot on. Well done to everyone who played a part in this, I reckon it may save a few lives.
