Creating The McDonald’s Of The New Millenium
When we first met Oliver’s, they had just two ‘healthy fast food’ stores located at freeway refueling areas on either side of the M1 Freeway north of Sydney. Offering a new healthy alternative to the usual hamburgers, fried chicken and greasy chips that travellers have come to expect from roadside locations which have been dominated by fast food giants for decades, we quickly knew we had an opportunity to help create something special… the McDonald’s of the new Millennium.
In the two years since we started working with Oliver’s they’ve been able to expand rapidly both nationally and abroad with overall revenue across their now twenty stores increasing by 19% and the company on track to IPO in 2016. This is how we’ve helped Oliver’s achieve such phenomenal growth to date…
Purpose Based Brand Platform
We developed the purpose based creative brand platform of ‘FEED YOUR GOOD’ that positions Oliver’s as not only the providers of fresh, organic and naturally delicious fast food, but as the experts on eating and living well – a space yet untouched by any health food restaurant chain.
In doing so, we encouraged Oliver’s to sell more educational books and DVDs that promote the benefits of eating and living well in order to help people understand the WHY behind the WHAT that Oliver’s does. This in itself has produced a new and valuable revenue stream for the company. Educational materials are now a key feature in all stores.
Brand Manifesto
Building a brand is the sum of everything it does. But this brand manifesto cuts straight to the heart of it and is delivered on every tray mat throughout Oliver’s stores giving meaning to FEED YOUR GOOD.
If You Want To Be Them, Challenge Them
We decided early on that if Oliver’s is to become the McDonald’s of the new Millennium, then they needed to directly challenge the McDonald’s of the past Millennium. So these targeted billboards spoke to the more than 150,000 relevant motorists who pass these signs each day.
Menu Initiative
From here we created a menu initiative that has defined the Oliver’s business in the minds of the public, challenged fast-food competitors and continues to create substantial value.

The Australian Press Comments On Our Impact On Oliver’s
‘Shaped For Good’ Promotion
In keeping with the purpose of the brand, a summer promotion based around a way of ‘living well’ was created to increase awareness of Oliver’s. Using facebook, people were encouraged to like the film ‘SHAPED FOR GOOD’ to win 1 of 5 custom surfboards over the five hottest months in Australia.
Winners Can Watch Their Board Being Made
The lucky winners found a unique URL written on the bottom of their new surfboards where the specs are located that allowed each of them to see their actual board being made.
Each individual film was shared by the five winners across their own social media platforms with the idea going on to garner much attention amongst the large surfing community of Australia.
