Uluru Launches New Brand Platform ‘Just Wow’, Via BMF

The ‘Just Wow’ platform aims to capture the awe-inspiring majesty of Uluru and was created by BMF after they won the Voyages Indigenous Tourism Australia business in 2020.
This platform challenges the perception of Uluru as ‘just a rock’, instead highlighting the abundance of experiences on offer at the Uluru | Ayers Rock Resort.
The local Anangu community were involved in the creation and production of the platform, including a collaboration with the Anangu Iwiri choir, who composed a bespoke a capella arrangement heard in the platform films. The song is in Pitjantjatjara, and translates as “come and see our beautiful country.”
“Just Wow says everything about Uluru, the place and its people. We hope it inspires everyone to get Uluru off the bucket list and go experience the magic for themselves,” said David Roberts, Creative Director, BMF.
Ana Sofia Ayala, CMO Voyages Indigenous Tourism Australia said, “our new brand platform is a beautiful evolution of our marketing approach; transforming to be incredibly bold, unique and ownable, as opposed to passive as we once were.”
“Engaging local Anangu throughout our journey was the key to making this truly stand out from the tourism advertising norms and enabled us to intertwine local food, local talent and local stories in the work.”
The platform will go live across print, OOH, TVC, Social, BVOD and owned channels.
