NRMA Loyalty. Gotta luv those oldies.Sorry DDB I really try to like the new Australia campaign but I just can’t get past that jingle! Takes me right back to the 80s.
Voting for NRMA Motorserve Baby ad
Oops hit wrong buttom…time for afternoon coffee!!
I love the Babies one. It’s spot on! It love the recharging with the bottle and the servicing area, we are all very familiar with. I think this ad is world class!
I declare it the winner!
Cheers

Tourism Australia is up for vote. Are you serious? I guess DDB does have a lot of staff to vote for it…
the racing ad is great – just like when I go to the races and pick the horses by the number and jockey colour
Bad jokes
Sentient cats
Terrifying giant babies
Awful songs
More bad jokes
Cute geriatrics
It’s a tough crop, but I’ll go with the cats. I like cats.
DDB come on now…isnt this ad for Aust just copying the Nat Geo I LOVE THE WORLD tvc that was made ages ago…

They’re all pretty good. Clever.
But there’s nothing like authenticity.
Loyalty wins hands down.
I love the cat and dog ad, but if you had the original Discovery Channel promo up it would win for sure.
Cat ad is fantastic. Agree with comments re: the Australia ad… If you can’t innovate, you’re left to imitate…
Minties. I could go minties right now.
i like all the ads but in terms of clear branding, it’s hard to go past tourism australia. cover up the logo at the end of the others and i can’t recall what they’re selling – apart from minties because that line has been going for so many years – but the australia one can only be australia. you mightn’t like it but you don’t really have to.
and no, i don’t work for tourism australia, i don’t even work in marketing or advertising, i’m just saying what i think.
i do like ads with old people though.
NRMA Baby ad is smart – baby as metaphor for cars i also like loyalty ad too – hits a soft spot.
The Australia Tourism ad is terrible and yes I do work for Aust Tourism, not to mention that the team left out the Nations capital Canberra, that would be like doing a piece on France and leaving out Paris or London in England and the funny thing is that the team was located in Canberra. So now Jennifer Hawkins has been at the war memorial filming a part that they are going to edit into a new release. — marketing shambles!!!
Minties is the only ad I’ve seen aired!
NRMA is the pick of the bunch.
My favourite ad of the year is the Foxtel one with the young girl doing her dance routine and dad has to pause the telly.
