Jemena Natural Gas encourages Aussies to turn it on in new campaign via BWM Dentsu Sydney
Energy company Jemena is encouraging Australians to turn it on in the new natural gas campaign from BWM Dentsu.
Launching in New South Wales on 3 May 2015, the “Turn It On” campaign is BWM Dentsu’s first work for the Jemena Natural Gas brand, after being appointed to the account in December 2014.
Says Jamie Mackay, chief strategy officer & managing director, BWM Dentsu Sydney: “The Gas category has traditionally been full of passive and clichéd images of cosy, happy families. We wanted to disrupt the conventions and highlight that gas is instant, powerful and puts you in control. It is actually the superior energy choice for modern families.
“The decision to install gas involves a number of steps and is a long term investment. We have completely redesigned the Natural Gas website to make understanding the process of getting gas as simple as possible.”
The stylish, high-energy campaign features the song “Turn Me On” by Australian indie band, the Grates.
Says Jonathan Sweet, marketing manager, Jemena: “We’re very excited about the work BWM Dentsu has done on this. Not only have they captured all of the different uses natural gas can have in peoples’ homes, they’ve done it in a way that’s innovative and aspirational.”
The campaign also includes an Australian first: the use of ‘cinemagraphs’, or photos that include ongoing, repeated movements, in the out of home (OOH) media.
Says Asheen Naidu, executive creative director, BWM Sydney: “The new campaign is dynamic and fast paced; we wanted to bring a totally new aesthetic to the brand.
“Director Matt Devine and post production house, Heckler, did an amazing job of bringing our vision to life. As well as the TVC, they created the ‘cinemagraphs’ that feature on the digital OOH panels. This is a great example of a media choice that brings the campaign idea to life.”
The multi-platform campaign will run across TV, cinema, print, OOH, digital and direct channels.

Clients love this stuff. High five! Fist pump! Bring it!
Looks great Matt. Very nice.
Forgive me for being the voice of dissent yet again. This says nothing; Gas exists. Big deal. No news there. ‘Turn it on’? Yes, it works better when you do that. It seems the bigger the once-fiesty agencies get, the safer and blander the work gets. This proves the point.
explain the ‘innovative’ aspect for me would you?
Explain the ‘and aspirational’ aspect for me as well too, please?
Nice one Squiggy. Bet you the shower scene was your idea 🙂
this looks awesome – nice work Matt Devine
Love the hooker on the couch – then going through his pipes…
