“Doubt is no one’s friend."
CommBank is unlocking Australian’s potential in Doubt Never Did via M+C Saatchi.
Created in partnership with Yianni Warnock of MOFA, the film is set to the soundtrack of Wolfmother’s reimagining of Bon Jovi’s 'It’s My Life'.
“Doubt Never Did is about helping Australians to feel seen and supported, to move past uncertainty and take action towards whatever their version of success looks like,” CommBank chief marketing officer Jo Boundy said.
“This could be starting a business, setting a savings goal or simply backing themselves.
“Consumers told us that ‘The Great Australian Dream’ has shifted. It's no longer one-size-fits all.
“This campaign is about pushing through doubt to follow your unique Australian dream, no matter how big or small.
“It’s a shift from what’s possible to what’s personal, where we acknowledge doubt might be part of the journey, but it doesn’t have to define it.”
There will be a 48-hour BVOD across broadcaster streaming services, alongside roadblocks on YouTube, TikTok and Meta.
The media strategy is led by EssenceMediacom and will deliver a rollout across television, cinema, digital, social and OOH.
“Doubt is no one’s friend. It holds us back and makes our dreams feel unreachable,” M+C Saatchi Group executive creative officer Emma Robbins said.
“We worked with CommBank to create a platform that reminds Aussies they can do anything with the right backing. This work is big, brave and deeply personal.
"We faced our own doubts as we set out to carefully reimagine a platform as iconic as Can, landing it in the hearts and minds of Australians through a truth and a tone that is honest, optimistic and inspiring.
“We can all celebrate that there is no one dream to follow. There is only your dream. And it’s beautiful. And it’s possible.”
