The answer to this question began as a lyrical poem, developed in collaboration between Pollen and a handful of young Australian creatives. Pollen worked hand-in-hand with typographic, motion and voice artists to bring the poem to life in video.

Australians are watching more video online than ever before and it delivers up to 10 times the response rate of static text and graphics. For these reasons, we planned the digital campaign with video as the centrepiece.

The video was supported by content we developed and rolled-out in search, social networks, remarketing activity and a campaign microsite.

The campaign wasn’t just a youthful injection for the HCF brand. It delivered measurable business results too.

With people around the world now browsing the web more than they watch TV, we’re excited by the continued growth of video and its place in the future of digital advertising.
