As safe as can B&D

Challenge

In an increasingly crowded digital landscape, B&D needed to stand out while staying authentic. The brand had to balance its rich Australian heritage with a forward-looking message that resonates with today’s tech-conscious homeowners.

The challenge was twofold:

  1. Differentiate B&D in a competitive category saturated with product-driven communication.
  2. Build consistency across all performance media while maintaining creative flexibility.

‘Welcome to a better version of home’.

Insight

The home environment has undergone a profound transformation in recent years. With technological innovation reshaping how we live and a global shift toward valuing safety and peace-of-mind, customers are making purchase decisions based on trust, relevance, and security. As a result, the modern homeowner isn’t just seeking functionality—they’re looking for solutions that help create a better version of home: one that feels secure, connected, and uniquely theirs.

Solution

This idea became the foundation of our campaign—a rallying message that connects emotional reassurance with functional excellence. It positions B&D not just as a product provider, but as a trusted partner in the evolution of the Australian home.

What We Delivered

We brought this to life by showcasing the diversity and individuality of Australian homes—from coastal retreats to suburban family houses and modern urban dwellings. Each scene represented a unique way Australians live, unified by one shared element: B&D as the trusted gateway to their homes.

The visual system was designed to:

  • Capture attention quickly in digital environments.
  • Communicate reassurance and innovation through tone, imagery, and messaging.
  • Adapt seamlessly across all performance channels—social, display, and video.
  • Reflect the brand’s scale, understanding, and heritage while staying contemporary.
Why it worked

The campaign successfully positioned B&D as a brand built for modern Australian homes—balancing heritage with innovation. 
By aligning emotional storytelling with performance-driven creative, the system achieved:

  • Stronger brand recall and engagement across digital platforms.
  • Increased conversion rates from upper- to lower-funnel activity.
  • A scalable creative ecosystem that continues to evolve with the brand’s future campaigns.

The “Welcome to a Better Version of Home” campaign redefined how B&D connects with Australian homeowners. It celebrates where we’ve come from, reflects how we live today, and opens the door—literally and figuratively—to what’s next.

What our clients say

At Barnardos Australia, our experience in working with Simon and the team at Outfox has been incredible.

 

They have over delivered in every way; really taking the time to understand our brand, objectives (and challenges!) and then craft highly creative concepts and deliver amazing production work across a range of marketing channels.

 

Their work is not just creative, but also highly effective. The latest campaign was shortlisted as an awards finalist at a National Fundraising for Excellence award show. Would highly recommend.

We had an absolutely amazing experience working with Outfox! Simon, the creative director, and Carli, the lead project manager, went above and beyond to create stunning brand video assets for us. The team was professional, super creative, and incredibly speedy, delivering exceptional results that were fantastic value for money.

 

We loved working with them so much that we’ve since asked them to take on multiple other projects, and they continue to impress us every time. If you’re looking for a creative agency that combines talent, efficiency, and a great attitude, Outfox is the one to call! Highly recommend.

Matt Poulier

Global Head of Brand – Employment Hero

We engaged the team at Outfox to help us define a new approach to our brand architecture to elevate the Sekisui House brand across all of our business operations within the Australian market. As a global leader in sustainable residential development with a defining philosophy; love of humanity, we were impressed with the Foxes total immersion in the culture and story of our organisation.

 

We thoroughly enjoyed the collaboration and the passion they bring to the table. Simon’s extensive experience coupled with his drive to create the best possible outcome is so refreshing and, the fun came for free.

Jodi Gill

Marketing Director – Sekisui House

We have found the Outfox team to be an invaluable support across our past 5 years of working together, and they now seem to be an extension of our own team! The work is always of the highest quality, insight driven and simply beautiful to look at. The team is efficient, collaborative and reliable. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Outfox to anyone in need of a creative partner.

Chloe Jones

Head of Marketing – Princess Cruises

Barnardos Australia started working with Outfox in 2021 on our digital donation campaigns. They also assisted Barnardos in developing our Unique Selling Point, so they really understand our messaging and brand direction. In the three major digital appeals run so far with Simon and the team we have gone from strength to strength.

 

Every appeal we have worked with the team has resulted in significant increases in digital income, and the ability to put our brand out in the market using creative that clearly resonates more powerfully with our audience than anything we had done before. We were so impressed with the last campaign ‘Hiding in Plain Sight’ that we submitted it to the FIA awards 2023. Outfox are a pleasure to work with and I can personally recommend their services.
