Cabot’s gives wood a voice in new ‘Wood calls for Cabot’s’ campaign via Thinkerbell

Cabot’s has launched a new brand platform ‘Wood Calls for Cabot’s’, partnering with Thinkerbell and a vocal alliance of wooden knots to champion the long-neglected timber surfaces of Australia.

As the category leader in woodcare, Cabot’s new platform aims to reconnect Aussies with their timber — a material Australians value, yet one that blends so seamlessly into everyday life it’s often overlooked. Timber quietly comforts and protects, but it also requires care, and is too often neglected until it’s too late to revive.

‘Wood Calls for Cabot’s’ gives wood a voice. The work brings another dimension of life to the wooden objects that surround us, giving them a presence in the most dramatic way possible — making them impossible to ignore. At the same time, it transforms every timber knot around the country into a mini Cabot’s ambassador, reminding Aussies of the brand in the most unexpected places.

Says Natalie Mitchell, Head of Marketing at Cabot’s: “Our key mission at Cabot’s is to bring the beauty of timber to life. As the category leader, we need to advocate for our beautiful timber substrates. We know that if people take more notice of the wood around their homes, our easy-to-use range will enable them to clean, nourish and protect these unique surfaces. Wood calls for Cabot’s.”

Says Sean McNicholas, Head Tinker at Thinkerbell: “With Wood Calls for Cabot’s, we have a platform with that rare mix of flex, distinctiveness and fun that can guide the brand and our comms for years to come. The only downside is a feeling that you are being watched. Always. By these cute little woody faces. Everywhere. You’ll soon feel what we mean.”

PLAY THE RADIO SPOTS:

A backyard timber decking board adds: “I’d like to take this opportunity to state that Australia’s timber decks, tables and chairs, forgotten fence palings and posts, neglected floorboards, cabinets, cupboards and chopping boards are all united and excited to have our message shouted out to the world — wood does indeed call for Cabot’s.”

The work went live across TV, digital screens, BVOD, audio and OOH this weekend, with partnerships, integrations and interactive pieces still to come.
