Got sent to me last week and I was instantly jealous. Think of all the typical blokey beer ads and then watch this. I have no idea how they sold it. Great idea, really well directed. Nice work.
Good stuff.
Can’t wait for other products apart from beer to approve great concepts..Cheers, cynical junior
Can anybody tell me if those ads that Saatchi’s sydney did for Tooheys Old- the magazine ads, which I think are bloody fantastic by the way- the best print work I’ve seen in Australia for god knows how long. BUT- I haven’t seen them much- did the client pull them? Wasn’t the client brave enough? Or do I just read the wrong mags?
Sorry I was so busy praising Toohey’s old that I forgot to say that I think this is a lovely fresh idea for beer- makes you watch and think and not only that, reincarnation is relevant to asian beer. Bloody hell, well done. Very watchable.
they were entered under point of purchase at cannes…sorry smell a scam..
I thought they only ran as posters?
similar idea as that Nike ad with the squirrel.
Oh my god reincarnation has been done last year by Mojo Melbourne for Nike. This means it can never be done again in the history of advertising by anyone. Reincarnation is so last year.This is a classic example of theft of IP.Who would have thought that Saatchis would be so blatant, i’m disgusted.This industry is gayeGay person.
I think it is a very nice piece of work. Not brilliant. But they dont have guiness budgets down there do they. Its a very nice cheeky piece of work with toby talbot stamped all over it. Good work.
It doesn’t have Toby stamped on it. It stinks of THE YANKS. It’s that fresh stank that makes my cock shrink with jelousy that only those two can deliver. The only team I think are nearly as good as me.PS You’re in town and you don’t call.Fuck you both cunts…And fuck the neighbours.
We love you Misch! And we’re sorry we didn’t call but don’t even try to use jealousy as an excuse for your tiny cock.Cheers,The Yanks
