Campaign Review: A perfect 10/10 for Aldi, and disagreement over Australia Post’s ‘Dear Australia’
Mumbrella invites the industry’s creatives and strategists to offer their views on the latest ad campaigns. This week: Facebook’s Steve Coll and BWM Dentsu’s Jamie Mackay offer their views on Australia Post’s letter to Australia, Aldi bringing COVID-humour to advertising, and Drink Wise comparing isolation to feeling ‘benched’.
Brand: Australia Post
Campaign: Dear Australia
Agency: The Monkeys
The verdict: Will the call to send letters really work?
Steve Coll, head of Facebook Creative Shop, says:
My only issue is the helicopter in the ALDI ad. If you can’t fly a drone close to people, you cannot fly a copter that close!
yeah, you’re totally right.
this ad should strictly stick to real life rules, and not at all be a slightly exaggerated scenario for the purpose of making a brand message memorable.
