Here for the Kids

Allambi Care's been here for the kids since 1981

Case study

In 2021 Allambi Care celebrate 40 years of providing family support services to the Newcastle and Hunter regions. We were tasked with creating a campaign that celebrated this proud history and really reinforced the roots of what Allambi Care stood for then, and still stands for now.

In 1981 a group of locals noticed a number of kids were at crisis point and decided to open a kids refuge, the origin of Allambi Care. To celebrate Allambi care’s 40 years of providing youth services, our concept demonstrated in a real way, that kids in crisis are there, but often not seen.

We photographed the kids dressed in 80’s gear in various locations throughout a major shopping centre. Life-size prints of the kids were cutout and placed in the locations accompanied by a spray painted stencil of the campaign line ‘Here for the kids since 1981.’

Creative Solution

The solution re-created the events of the 80's that lead to organisation's inception. In 1981 a group of locals noticed a number of kids were at crisis point and decided to open a kids refuge, the origin of Allambi Care. Our concept demonstrated in a real way that kids in crisis are there, but often not seen.

The printed piece featured life-size paste ups of the kids dressed in 80’s gear. The kids were photographed on location, printed, cut out and pasted back up in the shoot location throughout a major shopping centre accompanied by a spray painted stencil of the campaign line ‘Here for the kids since 1981.’

We produced a video used on both TV and social platforms.

Digital and outdoor media advertising were also developed as part of the campaign.
