The Block hits an incredible milestone in 2024

Heading into a huge 20th season

Get ready to celebrate two decades of design, drama, and dazzling renovations when The Block returns for an incredible 20th season in 2024.​

Australia’s favourite home renovation show is heading to the stunning coastal location of Phillip Island, a cruisy two-hour drive from Melbourne and home to the world famous Australian MotoGP and Penguin Parade.

In the new season of The Block, five couples from around Australia make the move to Phillip Island to build a new home that could change their lives forever come auction day.

The Blockheads will renovate five luxury family holiday homes – once again designed by longtime Block architect Julian Brenchley – from an abandoned resort just a few minutes’ drive from the town of Cowes.

Host Scott Cam is back for an incredible 18th season and will be joined by trusty co-host Shelley Craft for her 17th season on the show.

The 20th season of The Block will also be celebrated with a number of fan favourites returning to the show to lend a helping hand for this monster build.

Creative Execution Examples

Block_Domain_Lockup
Challenge RM10 Domain Open House-164

Challenge:

How do we drive new downloads of the domain app each week to explore the exclusive property listings?

2021 saw a record year for the property market and Domain understands that for those in the process of buying and selling property, it is one of life's most stressful decisions.

Domain wanted a single-minded approach to this year's The Block partnership, where all integrations focused on delivering a consistent brand message driving app downloads and listing views.

Solution:

A partnership between Australia’s home of property, Domain and Nine’s No.1 rating renovation program, The Block, was the ideal way to showcase all the ways the Domain app can help property owners and seekers buy, rent, or sell their home, feeling confident in the process.

Execution:

Domain’s in-program integration was celebrated across the entire block journey.

With help of Nine, Domain built an integrated partnership using the full suite of  Nine’s ecosystem. A multi-channel approach, involving the digital integration of  each party’s channels, enabled Domain to present bold, engaging integrations for all key property moments throughout The Block’s season.

Nine contributed to this seamless integration, building Domain’s app features which were proven to help contestants and allow them to create their own exclusive listings. Domain talent was also present throughout the series  to bring an approachable expertise to important property moments.

To further enhance the integration, Nine also created bespoke and exclusive content which was housed on Domain’s own channels to engage both fans of the show and consumers in the property journey. The ongoing collaboration at all levels allowed for successful integration within The Block.

Results:

The campaign was a huge success, achieving record goals year-on-year:

A highly engaged audience across The Block content on Domain

118%
increase in listing views

594%
increase in total app views

60%
increase in article page views

Domain are committed to working on more innovative ways to integrate their  sponsorship for years to come.
