Acis, one of Australia’s largest providers of business, investment structures and restructures, are expanding operations from QLD into NSW and Victoria. Knowing how the industry works, and how difficult it is to attract the attention of owners & directors of accounting firms- a leaflet or email won’t cut it.
Quite simply, our brief was to get a foot in the door of southern accounting firms and for Acis to have an opportunity of a one-on-one introduction.
Acis, scrutinise every transaction. Point of difference. Fool proof.
To demonstrate security, integrity and what occurs when things go wrong, when finances aren’t in the right hands- a direct marketing piece with a story, was created.
It begins with each recipient receiving a personalised handwritten card with their name, title and 3 numerical digits on it. The following day, an army metal dog tag arrives featuring their name, title and 3 digits. The day after, a large package arrives by registered post. It’s a Zero Halliburton – (the choice of briefcase for spies and drug lords, apparently.) The 3 digits open the case, revealing billions of dollars of genuine Zimbabwean currency. A card on top is the only clue: visit whytaketherisk.com.au
The director, Brendan Williams and CD Andy Iles went to Zimbabwe to film the video. It may seem excessive (we could’ve filmed a version of the script in the agency), but it wouldn’t have been genuine. The briefcase was the real deal. The money, 100% legitimate. Getting our hands on enough currency that doesn’t exist in circulation, to fill 100 briefcases, was a feat in itself. Filming in Zimbabwe, gave the campaign gravitas.
And it was tense, to say the least; an assignation attempt on the President and his wife just a week before we arrived, the recent election just weeks old and the opposing party taking the government to court claiming the result to be heavily rigged. The vision, the mood, the portent- real.
Cast on the ground with a magnificent lead and filmed at the offices of CD Telia Chilundo Mhonda, from TBWA Zimbabwe- we produced the film in a day.
A bold DM piece. How brave will our recipients be to follow through?
Our client would like to keep the results confidential at this point.
The world is changing at breakneck speed. Anything could happen in the next 10 minutes that can influence the way consumers think and how brands should behave. In fact, the world could be completely different by next Thursday. We like it that way. It keeps us on our toes.

A creative agency is commonly made up of designers, developers, PR geniuses, content writers, and account directors.
The great thing about working with an agency like ours is that we’ve got lots of different skillsets, each one is a specialist marketing professional. Each creative professional has something they can each bring to your business, be that a creative design idea, a new approach to social media, or a different marketing strategy.
