Campaign Review: The verdict on Koala, Ad Standards, Luv-a-Duck and Medibank
Mumbrella invites the industry’s creatives and strategists to offer their views on the latest ad campaigns. This week: Leo Burnett Melbourne’s Michelle Walsh and DDB Sydney’s Dom Hickey offer their views on Ad Standards’ campaign to champion more diversity in advertising, Medibank taking on mothers’ self-care, whether Luv-a-Duck’s 80s reference hit home, and Koala’s first in-house campaign.
Brand: Ad Standards
Campaign: Kinder Conditions
Agency: Loud Communications
The verdict: Could have gone further
Michelle Walsh, creative director at Leo Burnett Melbourne, says:
I’m surprised by the Luv-A-Duck responses. I haven’t seen the movie, nor do I associate the scene in the ad with the movie. However, standing under your crush’s window with a boombox, CD player, violinist etc. in movies and TV shows is such a pop culture norm is it not?!
