Getting the right things out

Due to a certain pandemic Scotland’s Census was postponed by 12 months and launched in March 2022. Our campaign strategy was built around three distinct phases; awareness, persuasion and action. We needed work that would get people’s attention - something that would stand out, be easy to remember and hopefully put a smile on people’s faces. Our launch ad ‘Stirling’ dramatised the benefits of filling in the census with scale, a sense of place and a little humour.

[ THE CHANGE ]

95% of people who watched the ad now understood what the census was

51% of recognisers recalled the endline ‘Getting the right things out, starts with filling it in’
