Sick of Subtle? Why Movements Like ‘Kiss My Brass’ Are Making Health Messaging Impossible to Ignore

Cheeky campaigns like Kiss My Brass are leading a new wave of honest, impactful health communication in Australia.

 

 Traditional health campaigns often miss the mark by being too polite, clinical, or forgettable. In contrast, Kiss My Brass is redefining how Australia talks about bowel health—using humour, bold visuals, and direct messaging to break stigma and encourage early screening. This article explores why boldness is more effective than subtlety, how humour boosts message retention, and why movements like Kiss My Brass may be the future of public health communication. With the rise of culturally fluent campaigns that speak to Australians in their own voice, it’s clear that loud and proud messaging may be exactly what saves lives.

How I became a Fettler in 1964

How I became a Fettler in 1964

by Rob Bell

My name is Rob Bell, and I was born in East Bankstown (later Greenacre) in 1945, into a solid working-class family. By 1964, 5 years after leaving Punchbowl Boys High, I was requested by the local gendarmes to leave town. This was also issued to many of my friends who, like myself, travelled down the wrong roadway.

A friend who had been off the scene for a while was back in town and was going on about working on the railway as a fettler in a place called Burren Junction. Where the hell is B.J., we all cried, North West NSW, have you heard of Walgett? Well, it's this side of Walgett, and they are looking for workers.

So come Monday, we all troop down to Central Station (about 6 of us) for a medical and get the guts on this Fettler business. Being good, strong Aussie boys with an average age of around 20, we were in. Some of us were sent to Cryon and others to BJ.
