WHAT KIND OF MAN DO YOU WANT TO BE?
RESPECT VICTORIA
A campaign challenging the pressures of masculinity that can lead to gendered violence.
While family violence continues to rise in Victoria, many men disengage from prevention messaging they feel “isn’t for them” – despite harmful norms playing a key role. We saw an opportunity to shift this by recognising that men listen to other men. What Kind Of Man Do You Want To Be? reframed the conversation from blame to aspiration, inviting Victorian men into honest self-reflection about who they are and who they want to become.
A social-first campaign featuring 12 real men challenging outdated ideas of masculinity brought this to life across formats, from long-form film to short social and OOH. The result: over 1 million Instagram views, 2,000+ comments and 42% follower growth, plus strong earned media including features on SBS and ABC - demonstrating the power of authentic, human storytelling to better engage men.
