Cobram Estate launches new ‘The Fresher The Better’ campaign via ATime&Place and Half Dome
Cobram Estate has released its latest campaign, with the help of creative agency ATime&Place, in partnership with media agency Half Dome. The Fresher The Better, celebrating freshness as the key to taste and health in extra virgin olive oil.
The fully-integrated national campaign spans TV, OOH, online video, digital and social, bringing to life the simple truth that olives are fruit, and just like any fruit, the fresher they are, the better they taste.
Says Charles Baylis, Executive Creative Director at ATime&Place: “Everyone knows fruit is best when it’s fresh, but not everyone thinks of olives as fruit. Freshness is at the heart of everything Cobram Estate does and it’s what unlocks the taste and health benefits of their extra virgin olive oil.
“Our job was simple: show that when it comes to olive oil, the fresher it is, the better it is. We just had to tell this story in a way that was as simple, fresh and vibrant as the oil itself.”


Says Adrian Mills, Co-Founder and CEO at ATime& Place: “Cobram Estate has elevated extra virgin olive oil and has put an Australian-made extra virgin olive oil on the map with a truly world-class product. Our job was to translate that leadership into a campaign idea that could cut through, simplify the story and show why freshness matters.
“Working together on this first campaign has been a great way to begin what we hope will be a long and impactful partnership. It’s also been fantastic to collaborate with Half Dome, whose media expertise has been integral in bringing this idea to market.”
Says Half Dome Co-Founder, Will Harms: “Cobram Estate is a dream client for us. A powerhouse Aussie brand with a true family spirit. The kicker is that it’s also a partnership anchored around a shared love of food, something this campaign captures beautifully. A great start to an exciting journey.”
The appointment of ATime&Place by Cobram Estate is the latest in a string of new business wins for the independent agency which has recently added UniSuper, Mountain Goat, Ventia and Global Prime to its roster.
