During my tenure at Ravel, I took the lead in securing the Darling Downs – Moreton Rabbit Board as a strategic client, driving the conceptualisation and execution of a dynamic awareness campaign targeting the profound economic and environmental impacts of rabbit infestation in Queensland.
Client Overview
The Darling Downs – Moreton Rabbit Board, entrusted with managing over 555km of rabbit-proof fencing and enforcing compliance with the Biosecurity Act 2014, plays a pivotal role in safeguarding Queensland’s agricultural communities.
The Challenge
Tasked with raising awareness about the illicit nature of rabbit ownership in Queensland and the severe repercussions of rabbit proliferation, our campaign aimed to educate and engage diverse segments of the community, including pet rabbit owners, farmers, and the wider South East Queensland populace.
The Solution
As the driving force behind the campaign, I led all aspects of client management, campaign strategy, and production oversight. Collaborating closely with Ravel’s creative team, I contributed to the development of a humorous and captivating campaign that effectively communicated the message that rabbits are prohibited pets in Queensland. From brainstorming sessions to media planning and buying, I ensured that every aspect of the campaign aligned with the client’s objectives and budgetary constraints.
