This year’s new Lamb ad is in and it brings sad news

Australian Lamb's campaign and poll of over 1,000 people challenge the drop to 11th on the World Happiness Index by highlighting shared experiences and outdoor life.

  • This year, Australian Lamb released a three-minute 'Share the Lamb' commercial starring Sam Kekovich, backed by Meat & Livestock Australia to contest the happiness ranking.
  • After Australia slipped in March last year, Australian Lamb commissioned YouGov Plc. to poll more than 1,000 Aussies in late November to contest the World Happiness Index ranking.
  • The YouGov Plc. poll found 74 per cent of Aussies are happy most days with an average score of 7.3 out of 10, MLA's Nathan Low said this reflects outdoor life and friendly people.
  • Framing the lamb as a cultural fix, Australian Lamb campaign messaging repositions the humble lamb chop as the 'saviour' of togetherness while using humour and camaraderie to boost national spirit.
  • Questioning the obvious, the commercial's montage and stunt use eccentric imagery to challenge Australia's 'endless beaches, adorable animals, and months of sunshine' happiness assumption.
