Diageo splits with agency formerly known as Three Drunk Monkeys
Diageo has parted ways with advertising agency The Monkeys, Mumbrella can reveal.
The split comes as a result of The Monkeys not wanting to work on global business that only involves local adaptation.
The news comes less than a year after The Monkeys changed its name from Three Drunk Monkeys, which it was rumoured was because Diageo was uncomfortable with the ‘drunk’ part of its agency’s name. The Monkeys has always denied this.
A statement from the agency reads:
Good on them for doing what they want to do.
Brilliant move. Life’s too short.
Wow. And after they changed their name to accommodate them. Sheesh.
Great scoop Robin!!!!
Monkeys need to be in the UK to get a sniff of the good stuff. In terms of Diageo an agency from the Colonies is tantamount to cheetah poo !
I could baileys believe the news! Monkeys obviously didn’t ciroc their boat. Diageo will keep walking. Don’t worry, they’ll wipe the smirnoff Burnett’s face sometime in the near future. Diageo are renowned for stroking their captain morgans and have convinced themselves they roll like a big tanqueray around town. I don’t want to harp on but after 6 months with Diageo, Burnetts will find a red stripe in their undies.
Pretty much all spirits marketers in Australia are a complete waste of life. Don’t know why, but they are. Diageo are the worst.
my previous comment was in reference to THE GREY GHOST and not Claytons.
Hey guys, I really tried hard to work as many brands-puns as I could into my piece. It took me several glasses of Laphroaig to come up with the ‘red stripe’ clincher. Some kudos please.
brilliant PR move by the Monkeys – outstanding way to turn losing one of their clients into a PR move and nice of Diageo to play along
Maybe the Monkeys can all get drunk again now. Drinks are on Mr Salty !
