Good One, Melbourne and SA’s home builder and Hickinbotham have come together to tell who they are and what they stand for in a campaign. 

The creative team, led by creative director & founder Charlie Howcroft, drew their emotional ambition from wordless cinematic storytelling. 

"This campaign is not just about launching a television commercial, it's about telling the world who we are and what we stand for," said Hickinbotham managing director Michael Hickinbotham. 

At the heart of the campaign is an original waltz, composed, arranged and performed by director of the film Matt Wallace. 

"We wanted the film to feel the way it actually feels to come and be home,” said Good One creative director Charlie Howcroft. 

“We hope the audience can resonate with more than one of the moments we have heroed. For me it’s a dance party with my sister when we were young.” 

The campaign was captured by Alexandra Naughten, produced by James Nolan, with accounts led by Harriet Renn. 

"We wanted something that would sit with people - that would remind South Australians why we've been part of their lives for 70 years,” said Hickinbotham marketing manager Justin Oxley. 

“Good One understood that brief instinctively."
