Century Batteries

A campaign that reconnects you with what really matters

Reinvigorating the idea of reconnecting with the great outdoors

Founded in 1928, Century Batteries has grown to become the undisputed market leader in the Australian/New Zealand automotive battery market. Supplying more than 1.5 million batteries every year the iconic brand produces recognisable and reliable products to Australians and New Zealanders alike across a wide range of applications.

Switch off, hit refresh and reconnect with what matters

After Covid kept us indoors, locked down, and with borders closed for the better part of two years, Viabrand® was tasked with the challenge of creating a campaign to reinvigorate the idea of getting outside and reconnecting with the things we love to do – exploring the great outdoors, getting out on the water, camping and connecting with family and friends. 

The recreational campaign for Century Batteries focused on a full broadcast offering campaign that would be rolled out across a wide range of media throughout Australia and New Zealand.

Supporting an immersive campaign

Taking the brief of creating a campaign to inspire a renewed love of getting out and about, Viabrand® created a range of deliverables for the national campaign across Australia and New Zealand, including:

  • Creative Direction and Script Writing
  • Broadcast Video On Demand Production (Digital TV)
  • Radio Ad Campaign
  • Print & Digital Collateral 
  • Social Media Ad Campaign

 

True Success in Collaboration

Viabrand® carefully managed each aspect of the immersive campaign in collaboration with our trusted and quality production partners providing:

  • Consultation throughout every stage of the project
  • Planning and in-depth analysis of project requirements
  • Script writing for 6”, 15”, and 30” clips to suit a range of media including social media and television.
  • Talent sourcing and casting
  • Arrangement of lighting, sound and visual props to suit the client’s vision
  • Video production and sound engineering to meet multiple media specifications
  • Art direction across the entirety of the project

Already successful with the client, the campaign hit the mark in creating brand recognition, brand connection (and reconnection), and feel-good ads we all needed after a difficult few years.

Rachael - Brand Manager (Century Batteries)

“I met the team at Viabrand® mid-way through a brand refresh project when I first joined Ultra Labels as Marketing Manager. The project scope was far-reaching and encompassed a revitalised brand strategy and delivery of a full suite of brand collateral. Our project manager, Amber, worked tirelessly with me to ensure that I was brought up to speed on all the major decision points. Even at an advanced stage of the project, my feedback was listened to and incorporated which was very much appreciated and I was struck by the responsiveness and professionalism of the Viabrand® team.

I am very happy with the results – their work on both our brand strategy and the way they applied insights gained to deliver a comprehensive and cohesive suite of stand-out brand collateral. And our sales team are delighted with their polished and professional toolkit!”

Tess - Marketing Manager (Ultra Labels)

“Initially, we didn’t want to rebrand. After talking to Viabrand, however, we knew it was a strategic commercial decision that would grow our business to the next level. In a competitive industry, we needed a way to strongly position ourselves to capture new customers.

We were completely blown away and loved our new brand the moment we saw it. This gave us the clarity and professional brand identity we needed to move forward with confidence as a business. Viabrand’s process, knowledge, skills and support are second to none! We look forward to our ongoing partnership.”

Christos - Managing Director (Embient)

“We approached the Viabrand® team to help us strategically refresh the Opticomm brand. We needed to balance the creation of a contemporary brand while staying true to our core. Viabrand® understood our organisation and what we are about. They supported the creation of a brand identity, narrative and architecture that captured who we are, what we stand for, and what we offer. The team was patient, supportive, and responsive.”

Tamika - (Uniti Group)

“We approached the Viabrand® team to help us move from a collection of brand elements to a brand that was consistent, professional and really captured the essence of who we were.

We also put forth the challenge of taking our new business that had global growth and capturing our brand while not being just another technology company. Not only did the Viabrand® team deliver on this, they really went above and beyond.

We now have the professional brand identity that is setting us apart from the norm. Viabrand® have become our go to trusted partner in this space as we’ve found a professional team we can rely on.”

Uscribe engaged the team at Viabrand® to come up with a full rebrand for the then Sign Technologies Australia. Their creativity and their ability to capture our ideas and translate into a brand identity was truly amazing. Right from the outset, the team was passionate about our brand and even shared other ideas beyond just the rebrand. I would strongly recommend Jho and his team.

Arnie - Arnie General Manager (Uscribe Australia)

Viabrand® have been an invaluable asset for my company and its branding, marketing and graphic design requirements from the day we first engaged several years ago. They quickly became the ‘go to’ people for all our graphic design requirements small and large.
