Red Tuesday, Ash Wednesday, Black Saturday. When there’s a day of natural disaster in Australia, the media gives it a name. In 2020, NRMA Insurance launched a day of prevention, First Saturday. The initiative asks Australians to dedicate the first Saturday of every month to helping first responders by making their homes safer. To inspire participation, the launch film featured real firefighters from Australia's recent bushfires being called to a replicated emergency. For the first time, the nation got a realistic glimpse into what first responders face, seeing them not as superheros, but human beings that need help too.
The purpose of NRMA Insurance is to make your world a safer place. Their entire brand platform is built on a single promise - Help. Following Australia’s devastating summer bushfires, that purpose was more important than ever. Every year natural disasters put Australian homes and the first responders at risk. And every year NRMA Insurance steps in AFTER disasters to rebuild homes and lives. To bring their brand purpose to life, this year they created a day to help BEFORE - First Saturday for First Responders. First Saturday became part of the national calendar, inspiring Australians to dedicate the first Saturday of every month to doing one task to make their homes safer - preventing first responders being called to danger. It enacted real behaviour change in the community, shifting the national conversation from preparation to preservation and reframing simple safety tasks not as chores, but as help.
