News Corp's Blow by Blow campaign was created to help promote coverage of the longest running Australian electoral campaign in a generation. The images, created in 3D, show the political armoury Australian representatives use as weapons against one another, and furthermore highlight three of the key political issues of modern times. The illustrations marry modern day political issues with brutal medieval weaponry. At first glance, the viewer may not notice the political issue, but on closer inspection the underlying message comes to life.

The agency is founded on the collective experience of Stuart Archibald and Bram Williams and one guiding belief: STRATEGY DRIVES SUCCESSFUL BUSINESSES, BRANDS AND COMMUNICATION. This is why Archibald / Williams was conceived as a complete strategy service. Uniting, from the very beginning, two planning archetypes that rarely (if ever) form businesses together: a direct/digital/data strategist and a brand/business strategist. The A / W core business model is best described as a ‘Strategic Compound’. And, to ensure outstanding creative and execution regardless of channel, we have formed a handpicked Creative Collective. This is why, since our inception, we have been involved with our clients in everything from brand to data consultancy, and from TV commercials to web banners and retail point of sale. A model such as this calls for a truly integrated team of strategic practitioners. Ones skilled in the arts of advertising, digital, retail, social, data, CRM and direct marketing. Complemented by a Creative Collective of specialists across advertising, design, technology, digital, CRM and retail.
