Panasonic urges consumers to outsmart summer
Panasonic Australia, via The Campaign Palace Sydney, has launched its biggest Air Conditioning advertising campaign ever – ‘Outsmart Summer’ – encouraging consumers to buy now and beat the rush in preparation for those scorching summer days ahead.
The campaign, which launches this weekend on television and radio and is supported by point-of-sale and digital advertising, uses a light-hearted scenario to remind consumers that warmer temperatures are fast approaching and that summer can be much more comfortable with the help of a Panasonic Air-Conditioner.
Mathew Harrison, Group Marketing Manager, Air-Conditioning, Panasonic Australia, said that consumers looking to invest in an Air-Conditioner should buy now to avoid the summer rush.
“With Spring here and a long, hot summer ahead, we urge consumers to start considering their cooling options before the summer heat hits,” he said.
“Taking the time to choose an Air-Conditioner that is best suited to your home is crucial,” continued Mr Harrison. “We hope that this new advertising campaign, along with our other marketing initiatives, will encourage consumers to start thinking about this early so they can get the right Air-Conditioner for them and potentially avoid long waiting times for installation.”
Says Cameron Hoelter, creative director at The Campaign Palace Sydney: “If it’s hot and you don’t have an Air Conditioner chances are you’ll know someone who has. Our message is, make sure you are ready for summer by installing a Panasonic Air Conditioner now, or risk making a nocturnal visit to your cooler neighbours.”

oh. sweet. jesus…..joke right?
should Gregory Crewdson not be credited for every single element of this spot?
shame.
I’ve just died of embarrassment and saved you guys the trouble.
wow…
shame, would have made a nice ad for a locksmith.
Don’t wait? Huh?
I like it. Good shit coming out of The Palace at the mo.
it’s light-hearted
3:56….I was going to say something rude like – moron…but I can’t be bothered.
A sad way to finish the week with a stinker like this being touted as creative.
Not great but better than most shit on tv at the moment. Good solid level of work coming from the Palace, with one or two really nice spots here and there, setting a bar?
Yawn…more like written in a bar after a few too many clouded the judgement!
Simple, funny and watchable…gets the message across……not great but not that bad either.
More nice work from Palace.
I remember the Campaign Palace. They were good.
‘Outsmart Summer’ is, potentially, an interesting prop.
But how is a moron home- invading a neighbour who is smart enough to have air conditioning even remotely close to said prop?
Isn’t saying ‘don’t buy Panasonic Air because someone you know will have it already’ a less than inspiring call to action?
Won’t be hard to outsmart the Palace. Just make better TV. Yawn.
THIS IS GARBAGE!!! Rehashed idea done badly. How can anyone defend it?
Nice look from the unsurprised neighbor. Its seems they’ve been in bed together before.
