Award-Winning Campaign: Sea Harvest "Fish Friday"
Excellence in Digital Brand Marketing Award - Winner, 2025
Role: Video Production and Editing
Agency: CRT Create Client: Sea Harvest
Brand: Sea Harvest
Serious About Post handled the video production, editing and soundmix for Sea Harvest’s “Fish Friday – Everyone’s Favourite Day” – a campaign that turned a single product into a cultural moment. Facing a declining frozen fish category, the strategy positioned Fish Friday alongside global habits like Meat-Free Monday and Taco Tuesday, told through playful, character-driven storytelling built around a high-impact hero video and a strong social rollout.
The hero video: every day of the week comes to life as its own character – Meat-Free Monday, Taco Tuesday, Hump Day, Phuza Thursday, Sports Saturday and Sunday Funday – all gathered at a party, waiting for the guest of honour. When Fish Friday finally arrives, he’s welcomed like a hero. The script leans into sharp, pun-heavy humour and week-day in-jokes to give the spot its personality and its shareability.
We were responsible for bringing that story to life on screen – cutting the hero video and supporting social content that carried the campaign’s tone: fun, shareable, and unmistakably “Fish Friday.”

The Interviews
A companion social series took each character out of the party and into a solo interview, fully in character – building out the cast individually and giving the campaign a steady stream of bite-sized, funny content beyond the hero spot.
