Our research highlighted the brand’s challenge; awareness - not enough people knew about this incredible charity. The ACMF are having an incredible impact, as a social change agent using music to tackle inequity in Australia. For 20 years their long-term programs with schools, youth justice centres and hospitals have been unlocking hidden potential.

Their impact was about more than joy, we needed to evolve their brand to show how they change life trajectories.

ACMF’s point of difference was the long-term nature of their programs which run for a minimum of three-years; they are committed to creating life-long change in these young people. The programs have a tangible impact; proven to increase school attendance, self-esteem and resilience. The single-minded proposition we developed reflected this. ‘Raise the bar’ was a call to action for staff, ambassadors, funders, supporters and teachers. We have a solution that works, we need to raise ACMF’s profile and think like activists to get more people on board and raise the bar on equity in Australia.

Our insights told us a re-brand was needed to raise awareness and elevate the brand to be about more than music, connecting with the next generation of donors. We worked with the super talented Dan Marshall who massively amplified the brand with a new logo and wild impact explosion graphic. Together we repositioned the brand as vibrant, impactful and powerful, representing who ACMF truly are.

Launched last month, the brand has already gained huge traction, getting so much love on socials and coverage in national trade publications such as Campaign brief and Mumbrella, raising their profile to a national audience. Watch this space for a new website and campaign coming soon.
