Project Brief

Men are clueless when it comes to planning their weddings, often resulting in them either just saying yes to their fiance about every aspect of the wedding or being accused of not being committed.

We needed to develop a campaign that would engage these non-interested men in at least one aspect of the wedding preparations which was selecting their wedding ring.

Project Need

We have developed a campaign based in humour that gives men tips to get things right. Rolled out in bridal publications and online the campaign helps men get it right leading up to and on the big day itself.

Design Challenge

Standing out amongst the schmaltz of the wedding category was our biggest challenge. The competitors all use a product image and lack big ideas.. we need both a big idea and a distinctive art direction style to cut through.

We also needed to understand the language that would appeal to the man, but also not get the bride to be offside at the same time.. a tricky line to walk!
