A Facebook Canvas campaign that acted as the social centrepiece for 'Girls, Make Your Move', The Australian Federal Government’s new initiative to get young women moving.
User research and campaign objective
‘Girls, make your move’ was Inspired by Sport England's successful 'This Girl Can' initiative and developed in response to research conducted by the Australian Bureau of Statistics and TNS Australia that showed young women are only half as active as young men. This social campaign supports several commercials and print ads, targeting young women between 12-19 by encouraging them to be more physically active.
Rather than preach at them to lose weight or be of a particular body shape, it features diverse women engaging in a range of activities encouraging exercise for fun, challenging the prevailing messages young girls tend to receive about their bodies.
Approach
Design and build
In total 5 different Facebook canvases were created, each with a different theme from Indoor activities to beach fun. Each canvas aimed to reach out to different audience segments within the target 12-19 age group, reminding them of the diverse range of activities available and encouraging them to get involved.
Immersive content
The canvas creative featured a loose narrative taking advantage of the platform's features by leading the user through a combination of immersive videos, tilt-able panoramic shots, swipe-able image carousels and call-to-action buttons.
