C’mon, Victoria! Neil Mitchell launches #WhatWeNeedToDo campaign
We’re all sick of lockdown.
It feels unfair. But now isn’t the time to dwell or fight.
It’s time to beat this virus.
That’s the only way our lives return to normal.
Neil Mitchell last week asked listeners to help rally support and get Victorians on the same page, and one advertising expert took it to the the next level and has helped Neil launch the #WhatWeNeedToDo campaign.
