Case study

OzHarvest

Fight Food Waste

A campaign message and identity were needed in the wake of Dan Goldberg’s “Food Fighter” documentary on OzHarvest founder, Ronni Kahn. On seeing the film, what might people do next? A clear call-to-action, related to, and distinct from, the OzHarvest identity.

The task

Wasting food is something of a hidden ‘crime’. We do it at home. Nobody sees us do it. It pervades. Swept under the bin lid. We wanted to bring home the ‘ugly truth’ of it: wasted, rotten food. Face it. Make it visible. Stop the behaviour that leads to it.

Stop the rot

Building on the documentary’s title “Food Fighter”, ‘Fight Food Waste’ became the obvious Phase 1 message of the campaign.

‘Stop the rot!’ is the more surprisingly obvious proposed Phase 2 message, underpinned by the ‘Fight Food Waste’ sign-off.

Waste costs

Wasting food is something of a hidden ‘crime’. We do it at home. Nobody sees us do it. It pervades. It’s swept under the bin lid.


We continued playing with our food-related language to create a pantry full of support messages to further catch the ear and eye.

The campaign was shown around Australia and supported Ronnie on her tour of the documentary.
