In a bid to promote intergenerational dialogue and encourage young Australians to participate in the upcoming Voice to Parliament referendum, a group of creative minds from Perth have launched a new campaign that relies on humor to get consumers interested in voting.
The 'Groom-a-Boomer' campaign hinges on a humorous video that leverages wit to engage young adults in conversations with older family members about the referendum scheduled for October 14. While the referendum itself is a serious matter, the approach taken by this creative team reflects the importance of breaking down barriers and creating a welcoming environment for discussions on such a critical issue.
Led by Richard Berney and John Linton of agency Berlin, this initiative aims to spark discussions and foster an understanding of the importance of voting across different generations.
