Modernising media

FreeTV Australia

Free TV Australia partnered with CRE8IVE to modernise its outdated brand and Commercials Advice Division (CAD). The dual project aimed to reposition Free TV as a contemporary player in entertainment while transforming CAD into ClearAds, a streamlined and customer-focused service. Through creativity and strategy, CRE8IVE delivered vibrant, future-ready identities for both brands.

    The challenge

    Free TV Australia’s brand and website no longer reflected its vital role in the modern entertainment world. At the same time, CAD required a rebrand to simplify its ad approval services, making them faster and customer-centric. CRE8IVE was tasked with solving both challenges while ensuring the brands complemented each other.

    The strategy

    CRE8IVE approached the rebrand through collaboration and research. Workshops uncovered client goals, driving the creation of distinct yet cohesive identities for Free TV and CAD. For Free TV, the focus was on relevance and community impact; for CAD, the strategy was simplicity, trust and customer focus.
