Buderim – Ginger Pride Rally
Mission
-
Having successfully undergone a brand overhaul in 2014, Buderim Ginger sought to build on previous campaign efforts and further establish their position in the market.
-
Buderim Ginger’s rebrand targeted the Gen-Y demographic. In order to continue reaching this audience, Agent99 needed to connect with its audience in a unique, meaningful way. And thus, the 2016 Buderim Ginger Pride Rally was born.
Solution
-
Building on the tongue-in-cheek nature of the previous campaign, the Ginger Pride Rally was a disruptive method of gaining national attention for the Buderim Ginger brand, whilst also promoting a cause that related to the target demographic.

1,000 Gingers and friends marched through the streets of Melbourne CBD, alongside a festival featuring live music, sampling, ‘Ginger Beer Pong’, merchandise, and signage.
