EVERYWHEN:

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY

Everywhen is is an Aboriginal Management Consulting Firm that works to unite Indigenous and Non-Indigenous Australia for enduring change.

The organisation needed an Acknowledgement of Country that matched the commitment of its leaders, so we opted for a direct-to-camera video to appear before the home page of the company website.

A script was developed in collaboration with Founder and Wiradjuri leader, Luke Jeffery. Filming took place on Yugambeh land at Tallebudgera Creek, with Luther Cora and family providing the talent. A smoking ceremony and traditional dance made this a truly memorable shoot.   

QTAC:

APP & VIDEO

Since 1975, QTAC has been Queensland’s trusted leader in tertiary admissions. In 2018, the organisation developed a groundbreaking app to help students determine which pathway best suited their skillset and personality type.

As well as providing the app’s copy and content, a short promotional video was produced to showcase the new platform. This included script, creative direction, video editing and post production.

National Redress Scheme:

COMMUNICATIONS TOOLKIT

The National Redress Scheme (NRS) was established following recommendations by the Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse. NRS sought external support to to bring more First Nations survivors to the scheme.

Kazoo developed a series of culturally safe communications, with the video recording of Martin’s Story the flagship in a suite of materials. It was the first time an Aboriginal survivor had publicly shared his experiences and attracted attention from communities throughout regional Australia.

The video was supported by a series of print and radio communications, which were translated into traditional dialects, with artwork supplied by local First Nations artists. The campaign was introduced by Elders from each community and promoted via the Black Star Radio Network. 

tmr/queensland walks:

ROAD SAFETY CAMPAIGN

Queensland Walks partners with Government and industry to improve Queensland’s walkability. For this project, they collaborated with The Department of Transport and Main Roads to develop a campaign that encouraged kids to treat the journey to school as an adventure, not a chore.

Kazoo provided an initial concept and script, then shot the video with the help of a local school in just 45 minutes to accommodate the busy drop-off period.

The kids were amazing, as were parents, teachers and Paul the Lollipop guy. The video was shared across Queensland Schools to coincide with TMR’s Road Safety Week.

gidgee healing:

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT CAMPAIGN

Over the course of 12 months, Kazoo travelled across the Northern Gulf Region multiple times, working alongside Aboriginal Health Provider Gidgee Healing to enhance communication channels and bring the community closer together.

Our strategy was to highlight the close relationship that exists between Gidgee and the people in its service area, which spans 640,000 square kilometres of Australia’s most stunning and remote country.

One of the characters we met along the way was Fred Pascoe, a Kitarj man from Normanton who works tirelessly to improve the lives of those in his community. It was an honour and pleasure to be welcomed into a world most people don’t know and it was a truly transformative experience.

BYDC:

RECRUITMENT CAMPAIGN

Darryl is a proud Djirbalngan man from FNQ. He works with Indigenous kids at the Brisbane Youth Detention Centre, helping them reconnect with culture through dance, music and story.

We met Darryl while shooting a recruitment video for Department of Youth Justice, inside the Wacol facility. Indigenous children make up 7% of the general population and 54% of those in detention. We knew that if we could attract more people like Darryl, these kids (some as young as 10) would stand a better chance of getting back on track.

This kinetic text video was broadcast through social channels as a way of supporting core campaign assets with direct visual messaging.

Work180:

CAMPAIGN DEVELOPMENT AND EXECUTION - LONDON UNDERGROUND

Like many successful businesses, JPL Financial Management grew organically from a one-person operation into a company that  services a bucketload of clients from all over Australia. In 2022, it was time for the brand identity to be developed in line with the company’s new status.

Owner Justine was clear about her desire for minimal design, so we created a logo using simple fonts and a black and white palette. That informed the layout of a new website, which again needed to be direct, minimal and clear.

BRAND DEVELOPMENT, LOGO DESIGN, COPYWRITING, WEBSITE DESIGN & DEVELOPMENT

Mindset Fitness Institute provides online courses for fitness professionals, to help them positively influencing human behaviour and improve performance.

Kazoo facilitated a series of workshops, where the brand identity was designed and developed in collaboration with MFI’s founder.
