The campaign was launched through a multi-channel media campaign that encompassed; Outdoor, Radio, Video Content, Social Media and bespoke postcode checker landing page.
The greatest danger with bushfires is complacency. Few people take preventative action because they don’t believe tragedy will strike them. Even in the most at-risk areas, 40% of households were not aware they were potentially living in a bushfire’s path.
This campaign for Queensland Fire and Emergency Services (QFES) encouraged people to make a bushfire plan before it was too late. What at first looks like a spectacular Queensland sunset turns out to be the glowing rage of a bushfire – highlighting the fact that a perfect day can turn to horror in a moment.
It certainly caught the public’s imagination, as the campaign led to an incredible 47,000 people using the online postcode tracker tool – in just a three-month period – to check if they were at-risk and make a bushfire plan.
