Target’s long established Target Tested platform re-born in new ‘Life Tested’ campaign via AJF

Target celebrates a return to real quality with a newly launched masterbrand campaign, created by AJF Partnership. For generations, Target has been a staple in Australian households, delivering affordable quality for everyday life and the new campaign reminds families they can rely on Target to make quality accessible for all.

 

The campaign encapsulates the spirit of Target through the eyes of those who love it most, Australian families.

In a series of honest and relatable stories, the quality of Target products is put to the test, demonstrating Target’s understanding of how families live and, when it comes to quality, what’s important to them.

Says Jamima White, general manager of marketing, Target: “We want to build on Target’s iconic history and get back to what Target has always been famous for, affordable quality for everyday life. Quality that lasts longer, performs better and doesn’t cost the earth. Quality families can trust.

“At Target, we are firmly looking to the future and the growth in online shopping allows us to reach more people across Australia than ever before. We are so excited to bring this innovative campaign to life with a fully integrated, omni-channel media program across owned and paid channels.”

Says Joshua Stephens, chief creative officer, AJF: “Target is a brand that was built on understanding real Aussie families and how they live. This campaign doesn’t shy away from proving Target products stand up to the test of real life — including things like 3am wake-ups and tantrums in all their wonderful, messy glory.”

‘Life Tested’ is Target’s first brand campaign in seven years.

The campaign will launch this Sunday 13th February, running across Australia on TV, OOH, social, online video and instore. Supporting the above-the-line activity, Target’s Life Tested campaign will also be embraced by team members who are testing Target products along with an online community also invited to test and share their experience with Target products.
