Allen’s wants to make Australians smile in new participatory campaign
Confectionary brand Allen’s has launched a new campaign intending to make more Australians smile more often with its new ‘Smile Makers’ initiative.
The campaign centres around the idea that people smile only 15 times a day on average, and Allen’s wants to encourage Australians to smile more by sharing the things they do and say to make others smile.
The ‘Smile Makers’ campaign is not to be confused with the new brand of sex toys, Smile Makers vibrators, led by the Monkey’s creative partner Micah Walker.
Pooing makes me smile. This doesn’t.

There’s nothing on Facebook except that video and some pack shots. Why would anyone share that?
18% is below average for a Facebook page running media…
Hey Anonymous (1:21pm) – If you look at posts by others on the Allen’s page, you will notice a ton of fans posting pictures of themselves, their kids, friends etc – smiling. The video is a call to action for people to share smiles. No I don’t work for a company affiliated with the campaign.
^^ IS THAT JULIAN COLE?
That’s a very unenthusiastic thumb up from the girl in the video. Must be smiling on the inside.
TCOooooh no!
Yep, confirmed. Facebook page with pictures of smiling people. Probably the same on any FB page you’d go to I’d expect?
Where are the toothless smiles? From all of the people who have been scoffing down Allen’s for years.
I did see the pig having a drink at the Woolpack Hotel not so long ago.Apparently its name is Bacon…!!??
Hey Capt, I understand what the video is trying to do, what I’m questioning is that really the best they could come up with? Just literally ask people to smile?
Seems like such a wasted opportunity to do something lovely. Instead what we have is an incredibly dry “call to action”.
But each to their own I suppose.
Captain oblivious, don’t all Facebook pages have pictures of people smiling? Winning!
Had the ad, love the idea behind the campaign but think it could have been better executed with much better creative. Are the people the vid real people or actors??
I meant to say, “hate the ad…”
I think it’s about 1 minute too long. Sometimes less is more.
Im really sorry but this campaign makes me upset. This is LOLLIES. It’s FUN, its enjoyment it’s imagination. The video is so stilted, not fun, not funny, not capturing the wonder of what its like to live in a world with lollies. Please completely re-think what you are doing.
Allens… Share your smile maker.
Love the idea, Monkey Boys. I just hope that innocents won’t stumble on smile maker vibrators when searching for sweeties.
Smile Makers the vibrator collection launched globally a couple weeks ago.
