NSW Government launches new #MakeNoDoubt consent campaign produced by Entropico
Following months of research into issues of consent by the NSW Government Department of Communities and Justice, and creative concepting by Frost, Entropico were engaged to lead production on the government’s concept campaign #MakeNoDoubt.
Launched this week, the #MakeNoDoubt campaign was created to help educate people on how to communicate about consent in support of the new affirmative sexual consent laws taking effect on 1 June 2022.
Says Aislinn Lowe, director, Entropico: “For this campaign, I wanted to create a series of worlds that represented an intersection between entertainment and education. My approach to the cinematography was very much influenced by Euphoria, because I knew that in order to grab the attention of our target audience we needed to make a campaign that looked like something they would binge-watch. The music was almost all bespoke and made in-house at Entropico, so that it felt like a film score rather than something pre-packaged.
“It was important to me that the stories and performances were authentic, so we used real couples for the more intimate scenes, and worked with intimacy co-ordinators Chloe Dallimore and Anna Cheney to make sure that the actors felt really comfortable with what was happening.
“As well as showing diversity on screen, it was also important to me that there be diversity represented in the crew. I think the reason the campaign is getting such a positive response is because the audience can sense the authenticity in the storytelling right through to the core of the whole production.”
The #MakeNoDoubt videos will run across Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, TikTok, Spotify, YouTube and Tinder.

But when does he make me a Milk Shake?
Better than that load of guff about a milkshake or whatever it was
this is super good. straight to the point, not cringe. great work!
Transparent, open and beautiful. This is amazing work.
Haven’t they breached their own rules in the party video? There is no verbalisation of consent shown for the kiss and no consent for the physical touching in response.
The website specifically states:
“If someone consents to one thing (like kissing), it doesn’t mean they’ve consented to other things (like touching).”
Now it is possible that before the video started they arranged specifically to go over to the wall and kiss and to exchange intimate touching because otherwise it seems like they have both been sexually harassed.
