Invest Victoria commissioned BRAVE to produce a scaled social campaign over a two year period, showcasing international corporations investing in Melbourne and Victoria. The project touched upon many sectors, amongst them Clean Energy, Digital Games, Advanced Manufacturing, Digital Health, Advanced Air Mobility and Agtech. C-Suite narrators were enlisted to narrate the investment story of each of these featured companies, offering top-level insights for the international business community.

BRAVE developed the brand device THINK MELBOURNE to bring attention to Victorian investment opportunities in a B2B environment. Finally, we created a showcase video for Invest Victoria's website and key events. All in all, over 100 assets were created by BRAVE for Invest Victoria in this campaign, and our animation, design, copywriting, live action, aerial filming and campaign creation skills were all utilised across this project.

Victoria’s energy transition is on…
…and BRAVE was there to assist the SEC with their relaunch, creating four animation/live action videos to showcase the past, present and future of the revitalised State Electricity Commission brand. We also contributed animation to their new website’s homepage banner, and assisted with PR materials.

Looking for recommendations:
We have ongoing shoots at BRAVE that require an enthusiastic and versatile young person who can work with us on small shoots in a PA and light Camera Assist role capacity (mostly helping the DOP move equipment, organising lunch and other light logistics for a small crew). Needless to say this is a paid role on a freelance basis.
We are looking for someone who is enthusiastic and responsible. They don’t need to have an intricate knowledge of cameras, just need to be sensible, helpful, quick and positive. Would suit a media student, a recent graduate or anyone interested in getting into the industry. The shoots will take us all over Victoria working with a fun and experienced team. Message me here or email [email protected] if you have any suggestions!

At BRAVE we have a big slate of work planned for 2022 in advertising, marketing, and premium communications.

We’re on the lookout for some new cinematographer/shooters who film beautiful video images and are great to work with.

They should be owner operators shooting on high-end codecs who also have their own production kit including lighting etc.

It’s going to be an exciting year and we’re looking forward to new collaborations.

If you are interested or have a great recommendation, please message us on Facebook or email us at [email protected]

News coverage of our s*x and consent WA campaign. We're getting great feedback from the target audience on the pitch and clarity of this animation. We hope it helps to make a difference. *xandconsent

03/11/2021

Let’s talk about s*x… and consent in WA. When we were asked to make this animation campaign about consent laws, we decided to steer clear of coy analogies and instead ask young people how they wanted it done. They said they wanted to be told the facts straight and to not hide behind humour because some (mostly adults) find the topic embarrassing. They said they wanted it to look like a lyric music video. And they said they wanted to narrate it themselves so that they owned the message.

We would love to hear your opinions on cafes!
If you drink coffee, are under 50 years old, from Melbourne and can spare 10 minutes, we would greatly appreciate it if you could fill out our short survey on your cafe habits. We are assisting a student syndicate from University of Melbourne with a marketing research project. The link is here. It is all completely anonymous.
https://melbourneuni.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_cGTMTezK83cWoND

Please note: we use a special technique in this survey which appears to repeat a similar question a few times. This is correct and is about making 'trade offs', so please continue to click through. Thanks!

We're looking for a manufacturing location to shoot one stills shot. It needs to represent a sector that involves strenuous manual labour and large, old fashioned machinery is ideal but in a currently working factory. We're looking for contacts inside this location that can help us quickly as it's very fast turn over. The location will be filmed anonymously. There is a location fee and we only need to be there for 3-4 hours. Any help much appreciated!

We whipped this TVC up for Tradies Heaven - a new vehicle yard built just for, you guessed it, tradies. We've also been behind the branding and media strategy which has seen a lot of action on TRIPLE M, SEN and the Nine Network. Here's to a great launch of the largest collection of tradies vehicles on one site in Australia. If you're wandering around the Oakleigh area on Saturday and are partial to a sausage sizzle, come on down!
1A Ferntree Gully Road, Oakleigh.

Finally, a vehicle store just for Tradies with more vans and utes than any other dealer in Victoria! Opens 22/3/19 at 1A Ferntree Gully Road, Oakleigh.

12/03/2019

Tradies of Victoria - finally you have your own light commercial superstore with the biggest collection of Vans and Utes in the state. We've been working with Tradies Heaven on this fun launch campaign. If you're in the area on Grand Opening day (22/3/19) pop in for a snag and check out literally hundreds of tradies vehicles!

We've been having fun with our friends at Disegno and Luv-a-Duck with this reality show style project. Lots of great characters in here and some superb gourmet cooking from Adam D'sylva (co-owner and head chef at CODA).
