Nearmap launches first above-the-line brand campaign in Australia via The Monkeys
Nearmap has released ‘Truth is in the Detail’, a new brand platform via The Monkeys, part of Accenture, that demonstrates how its high-resolution aerial imagery, city-scale 3D content, and Artificial Intelligence data sets can give organisations an edge, helping them to make more informed decisions – faster.
The Nearmap brand campaign highlights the firm’s intelligent aerial maps and geospatial data, which covers more than 90% of the Australian population, and how this can empower companies to discover the best visual data insights available in the country.
Businesses of all sizes use Nearmap technology to inform decision-making, including planning smart cities of the future, supporting the growth of greener spaces, and assisting recovery efforts after major natural disasters. Nearmap captures wide-scale urban areas up to six times a year in Australia, making current content instantly available to customers.
The integrated campaign is set to run in Australia across broadcast television, social media and digital. The campaign film, titled ‘The Savant’, is directed by Owen Trevor at Rabbit.
Says Thomas Marcusson, creative director, The Monkeys: “Based and founded in Australia, Nearmap provides much more than aerial maps, and uses its very own patented camera systems, processing software and geospatial tools.
“‘The Savant’ TV spots show that humour can be really effective in B2B, striking a note in a field normally dominated by more sober content.”
Says Harvey Sanchez, chief customer officer, Nearmap: “Nearmap has been the secret-sauce for many businesses across Australia, New Zealand and North America for more than a decade.
“The pandemic is pushing people to look for tools that help them navigate and cope with a world that is changing in hugely challenging ways. Regardless of what’s happening in the world, companies can depend on Nearmap to deliver data and detail at a scale that has never been provided before. In the first above-the-line campaign from Nearmap, developed with The Monkeys, we hope to deliver that message in a relatable and fun way.”

…good…
The product seems to be an afterthought at the expense of the carrot gag.
Yeah why bother have anything interesting in an ad?
Pretty Good
This isn’t funny.
Ok.
This Kool Aid is delicious!
What’s with the weird hybrid VO accent? can’t decide to focus on AU or American markets? strange.
I preferred Gerry Graf’s version. Such a classic.

Much more fun.
You’re totally missing the point of my argument.
Much like you did with the client’s brief.
Just thinking the exact same thing @Nahhh… One of the greatest ads ever for a plainly boring product, to most people that is.
I thought she was going to light it up at the end.
That Nextel ad is a banger.
Agreed. Thought the dude was American at first.
Leonay represent! Bravo Seamus
anyone else think the carrots looked a bit suggestive on the table? Or maybe I just need to score a date….
the nextel ad! ❤️
You could have a lot of fun with an advertising campaign for Nearmap. Personally, I’d like to see something ‘Game of Thrones’ style, where the families use the technology to spy on each other 😆. A continuation on where things were left…or fill in some blanks with characters we wonder about but never saw much of.
What is the first word he says? I’ve watched 10 times and can’t figure it out.
Is that the first word?
Is her name Bethestone?
Help me Dr. Zaius
This is a service for businesses?
Cos you’ve used an individual who says “I’ve got Nearmap”
I still don’t really get how or why a business benefits from it in context.
It’s Google Maps?
Just like the Sprint ad, the message is that the product is so easy to use you’re gonna be so all over your job (tracking logistics) you’ll have time to muck around doing other things like dancing to Salt n Peppa or making a… carrot flute. Random!
“Featherstone”.
It’s not very good. It’s n0t very funny. It seems to have had an ok budget behind it if you can afford Owen. Missed opportunity
Entertaining ad. Good to see something different for b2b.
So boring. Good night.
so boring
She got credited on every piece of work Ben did at DDB. What’s going on here. Guys? Guys?
