Telstra’s Olympics ad wins Mumbrella’s Ad of the Month
A rendition of a classic Australian pop song has won Mumbrella’s Ad of the Month for July.
Men At Work’s unofficial national anthem Down Under was recreated with the band’s singer Colin Hay for Telstra’s Olympics push. The ad was created by DDB Sydney.
Nice one Kieran, even if you did sell your kiwi soul in this aussie pride-fest.
Am I the only person who reached for the mute button on the remote when this was on? It drove me nuts.
@Jason – you’re clearly a whinging pom.
I still get chills when I watch this…
Tim – Mumbrella
Thanks Mumbrella for reminding me this was an ad for Telstra. If you had asked me beforehand, I would have remembered ‘Down Under’, but not the client. Not sure if that’s my problem or one for the campaign (happy to take the rap if it’s me).
um if its Olympics why are only footie players in the ad?
Is that a young Jay Furby at 24 seconds ?
I love this ad!
Love it!!
