Australia Post taps into Shazam's m-commerce offering to allow commuters to purchase gift cards directly online
Australia Post has partnered with Shazam’s m-commerce solution and Adshel bus shelters in two Australian cities to promote its Load&Go gift cards for Christmas.
The campaign sees Australia Post ‘gift-wrap’ selected Adshel bus shelters in Melbourne and Brisbane, and encourages consumers to directly purchase the gift card by ‘Shazaming’ the ad through the in-app camera on their mobile phone. Doing so takes the consumer to an Australia Post online page where they can complete the purchase.
The campaign represents a partnership between Australia Post, Dentsu Mitchell, Adshel, GPY&R and Shazam.
“It is great to see an idea come to life so relevant for consumer needs at this time of year, and enabled by innovation that makes interaction and fulfilment easy,” said managing director of Australia Post's out-of-home specialist Posterscope, Joe Copley.
The campaign is appearing on outdoor panels until 13 December.

Television-obsessed Mike insists on becoming the first person to be ‘sent by Wonkavision’, dematerialising on one end, pixel by pixel, and materialising in another space. His cinematic dreams are realised thanks to rash decisions as he is shrunken down to fit the digital universe, followed by a trip to the taffy puller to return to normal size.
Why is it there is no shortage of leadership development materials, yet outstanding leadership is so rare? Despite having access to so many leadership principles, tools, systems and processes, why is it so hard to develop and improve as a leader?
As a nation united by sport, brands are beginning to learn money alone won’t talk without aligned values and action. If recent events with major leagues and their players have shown us anything, it’s the next generation of athletes are standing by what they believe in – and they won’t let their values be superseded by money.
