As part of the new brand positioning, the campaign ‘Harder Than You Think’, is launched across TV, OOH, digital and social – follows a series of everyday Australians as they live the brand’s new ethos. Live footage is enhanced by illustrative animation – serving as an emotional metaphor for how nib can help members stay on top of their health.

Marcus Tesoriero, executive creative director at BWM Isobar, said, “We’re super excited for BWM Isobar to join the nib family in this new journey for the brand. Health First is more than a marketing line, it’s a promise to prioritise healthier lives for members over anything else.
