Jeep encourages Australia to Work Far From Home in new campaign via Cummins & Partners
In 2020, the concept of remote working went from a luxury to necessity, with most businesses embracing working from home in some form. But now that local travel restrictions have eased across Australia, Jeep wanted to pose a challenge to those enjoying their new found flexibility.
If you have the freedom to work from anywhere, why limit yourself to your own postcode?
To encourage more Australians to truly embrace remote working, Jeep and Cummins & Partners have helped bring a fully connected home office to one of Australia’s most far-flung corners – the north west coast of Tasmania.
Jeep is inviting Australia’s most intrepid workers and adventurous influencers to escape the daily grind and try Working Far From Home for themselves.
Accessible only by the most capable of 4×4 vehicles, the custom-built office pod is located in a rarely explored pocket of coastal land, surrounded by dramatic cliffs and breathtaking views.
Much like a Jeep, the office has been built to withstand the harshest of elements, without compromising on features or style. The structure was created by Spacecube, a world leader in portable modular infrastructure, with architecture designed to blend seamlessly with the natural landscape, while maintaining creature comforts such as full Wi-Fi connectivity, climate control, solar powered electricity and plumbing.
To help get you to the pod, there’s also a Jeep Gladiator on loan as your complimentary work car, for road, rock and beach adventures, and adrenaline-filled morning tea and lunchtime breaks.
Says Rachel Semmens, senior marketing manager, Jeep Australia: “Many Aussies believe that being able to work from their kitchen table is the new definition of freedom.
“But when you own a Jeep, the possibilities for truly remote working are unlimited.”
Sats Adam Slater, associate creative director at Cummins & Partners: “From the wildlife to the weather, installing a structure of this kind in such a hostile and remote environment posed plenty of challenges for cast and crew. But at least the vehicles were right at home.”
The TV campaign, produced by NB Content, launched on Channel 10’s The Project last night, with Jeep ambassador Hayden Quinn travelling to the office and reporting on the benefits of working remotely from the epic location. Along with a 30 second film airing during the competition period, an additional partnership with realestate.com.au will also allow Australians to browse photos of the property and check out its innovative off-the-grid features.

An idea that is true to Jeep’s promise.
Reminiscent of Cummins Worlds Best Job idea – but so what?
It’ll create great interest and great PR.
Well done chaps. Nothing like the wilderness, a warm fire, and a cold Chocolate Nippy.
Its just a great idea and great car work.
I want to buy a Jeep.
It was super impressive. Amazing work once again C&P, love your work 🙂
Epic visuals and great thinking. Love this response. Feels right for where we’re at right now.
Super cool stuff, makes me want to pack it up and go off grid!
I’M IN
It’s no Jeep Remote Dealership.
Beautifully crafted, especially love the sound and cinematography.
google it.
Nice idea. I never want to enter competitions, but that one I thought… yeah.
‘Remote Working’ would be a cleaner title but that the only niggle.
Thank you for that moment of laughter – next time you rev up the troops to post can you be a little more subtle?? Also isn’t this just remote dealership repackaged (it was average then and its average now)
Looks beautiful. The edit feels a rough cut.
Such a pure idea. You can always tell when an agency really feels the brand, it shows in the work.
Nice idea. Not earth shattering. But worth making.
Nothing but congrats on this one. Nice thought, executed to 100%. Well done to all involved.
No doubt it’ll pick up awards and props to the huge undertaking sure. But how is this actually supposed to sell Jeeps?
Great work Cam & Adam! Love it.
trying to squeeze everything you possibly could into an idea and somehow it still feels like it’s lacking.
That house is very attractive, well done C&P for finding the Spacecube.
Isn’t this just the Grand Land thing they did a few years back? …with a house?
When ‘I’m in’ launched I didn’t really get it. But with campaigns like this, it’s starting to make sense now. Agency and client should be pretty happy – cool thought.
