01 – The brief

ONE DAY
WASN'T
ENOUGH.

R U OK? Day is one of Australia's most recognised mental-health moments – and that recognition was both its power and its problem.

Almost all of the brand's emotional weight was loaded onto a single September Thursday. The ask: spread that across 365 days without turning a meaningful conversation into wallpaper.

02 – The work

A SYSTEM
FOR ANY
DAY.

I illustrated a narrative explainer – quiet, everyday moments of two friends checking in on each other – which an animator then brought to life.

I built the Any Day typographic system: a flexible lockup where the occasion swaps in and runs across OOH and digital without losing craft. I gave visual direction for the year's TVC through a director's treatment deck, and built the social activation – including a custom sticker for #2ForTwo, a push to take time out with someone who matters.

Any Game Day. Any Moving Day.
Any Rainy Tuesday.

03 – The outcome

SAME
QUESTION.
ANY DAY.

The campaign ran across animation, outdoor, digital, social and broadcast – all built from a single flexible idea.

Same question. Any day.
