Brisbane’s the hoopla family helps TransLink take the high road with public transport advertising
Brisbane agency, the hoopla family, have been releasing a steady flow of work for TransLink Queensland’s go card.
One such campaign, simply referred to as ‘Dinosaur’, was created to illustrate the idea that people travelling on public transport using paper tickets were living in the past. And what better way to show this than by building an origami dinosaur out of actual paper tickets?
The campaign included digital, print, ambient OOH and radio executions, all of which were a welcome creative challenge for the agency.
Says the hoopla family art director Justine Morgan: “TransLink have been really open to us thinking outside of the box with their problems, who else would let us spend all day making a dinosaur out of a paper ticket!”
Creative director Sandra Hind is also pleased with the work, saying: “It’s always good when the client is willing to take a punt on something a little different, and we think it’s paid off with the work that’s being used.”

Been done by BPAY, only better…

This is an exact replica of BMF’s multi-internaitonal-award-winning campaign for BPAY in 2005. It was a finalist at Cannes. It was even reported on in Campaign Brief.
Come on guys. Try harder.
BPAY campaign in 2005. Was ranked in the Won Report’s “World’s Best DM Campaigns” as #3.
This is not.
Hey, it’s “billasaurus…”, I mean “ticketsaurus rex”!
Matt, stop commenting and get back to work.
It was actually done before BMF did it for BPay too but at least they got away with it.
Diduthinktheysaurus steal it?
uh yes.
Yes Wonderous,
I too can remember when BMF won and I wondered how because it had been done before.
ouch
That idea is a million years old.
2005? That’s seven years. Don’t ideas regain their virginity after that?
