The Good Stuff

Hyne Timber

Another highly collaborative and fun project with our friends at Hyne Timber. The Good Stuff campaign is a tongue-in-cheek look at quality in the timber industry. When it comes to quality Australian timber, Hyne is top of the list. We worked with the Hyne marketing team to create the whole campaign.

This campaign introduces Doug, a loveable bloke and talented chippy. A connoisseur of timber who has a few tough days dealing with cheap unreliable timber. Doug dreams of the days he can work with The Good Stuff. A throwback to our previous campaign with Hyne. Look out for Doug anywhere you can buy Hyne’s quality timber. If you can’t find it-we suggest you ask why…
