The Client

Advocating for safe, affordable homes for all Victorians

CHIA Vic is the peak body representing Victoria's not-for-profit community housing sector. CHIA Vic advocates for and supports the community housing sector to grow and thrive through policy representation, training, and raising the profile of community housing as a solution to housing stress and homelessness.

A digital marketing activation designed for longevity

As a small but dedicated team working amidst a housing crisis, our engagement with CHIA Vic went beyond developing an engaging digital marketing campaign. We focused on transforming public sentiment through education while working with community housing organisations to build capacity, create lasting tools and develop skills that will continue to generate positive impact long after the project ends.

The Challenge

Community housing organisations play a critical role within the housing system, ensuring all Victorians have the dignity of an appropriate, secure, and affordable home. However, to drive positive sentiment within the wider community, education surrounding the role and benefits of community housing is needed to ensure these organisations meet the increasing need for affordable housing solutions.

Our approach

Working alongside CHIA Vic’s team, we translated established key messaging and community engagement frameworks into a flexible digital marketing campaign that encouraged empathy, understanding and a positive perception of community housing’s role within the sector. The campaign and its accompanying assets were developed for longevity, understanding that strengthening public support requires ongoing effort.

The impact

The campaign reached over 1.2 million Victorians – approximately 20% of the state's population – generating 3.49 million impressions at half the cost of industry averages. Insights from the campaign were analysed and broken down into actionable learnings for CHIA Vic and its member organisations, providing ongoing guidance for future marketing efforts. Beyond metrics, we created 23 templates and delivered 5 training sessions, empowering CHIA Vic's 70+ member organisations with tools and capabilities to drive positive community sentiment well into the future, creating a lasting foundation for stronger public support of community housing.
