Telstra’s Sensis 1234 launches TV spot and outdoor campaign via DDB Group Melbourne

DDB Melbourne has launched a new TV and outdoor campaign for Sensis 1234, the telephone concierge service for Telstra customers. While not a new service, the campaign plays to the strength of the SMS offering, believing that some things are best not said aloud.

Says Geraldine Davys, group manager brand & marketing communications at Sensis: “While Telstra customers may already know about the call service, we wanted this campaign to highlight the upside of our SMS service in situations where talking on the phone isn’t appropriate.”

The campaign has three TV executions, backed up by an outdoor campaign that run with the line ‘Don’t say it, text 1234 instead’.

Says Oliver Lynch, DDB Group Melbourne’s managing partner: “The changing nature of technology and how we use it has produced some unfortunate side effects. We’ve all heard things that are inappropriate and wish we could un-hear and this campaign taps into that insight.”

The campaign went live on 7th October.
