Independents Day

Winning political campaigns for independent candidates

We loved working with Zali Steggall and Allegra Spender to design, message and promote their independent bids for the 2022 federal election — and win! These were comprehensive campaigns, using a small but smartly-targeted budget to develop everything from overarching messaging and visuals to new websites, policy PDFs, TVCs, social videos, direct mail, print, digital signage and awareness events.

A campaign to save the planet

When independent MP Zali Steggall wanted to push for an emissions reduction target 2035 Brains launched the cut 75% of emissions by 2035 campaign. As well as building awareness of the need to ramp up climate action, our logo and website have been instrumental in encouraging Australians to cut their own emissions and lobby their MPs to take tougher climate action.

Now that’s independent thinking

Vote independent

With the 2022 federal election looming, community crowdfunding initiative Climate 200 wanted to promote a more independent approach to environmental policy.

Brains was approached by Climate 200 to run a climate-focused advertising campaign with the goal to unseat targeted LNP politicians in the next election.

We worked with Climate 200 to refresh their brand, messaging and strategy, which we then used to deliver a hugely successful digital campaign that shone a light on the game-changing potential of independent politicians.

Powering the passion

Sometimes you’ve got to take the hardest line

When independent MP Dr Monique Ryan wanted to shine a light on lobbying in Australian government, she needed a team who would turn this bright idea into a campaign that would illuminate the public. Brains produced powerful messaging, designed and built the website and delivered a targeted social campaign. All in the name of bringing accountability to political decision making.

Re-election in Warringah

We worked with Zali Steggall again to promote her independent bid for the 2022 federal election — and win! Victory was by no means a fait accompli, given how few independent MPs had ever been re-elected in the history of Australian Federal politics. The comprehensive campaign included overarching messaging, visuals, new website design, policy PDFs, TVCs, social videos, direct mail, print, digital signage and awareness events.
