August 2019

Ah, , Salaam and good morning to you worthy friend.
Please, please, come closer —
We know everyone’s busy, and none busier than you. So here’s a quick dive into the things that inspired, fascinated, enthralled and puzzled us the last couple of months that we thought might interest you.

  • Disney+
  • Melbourne Bitter
  • HILDA Report
  • Apple
  • Adobe
  • Gilette
  • Popeyes

Over the weekend Disney opened up the cave of wonders that is their massive back catalogue at the D23 conference and finally let us in on the Disney+Platform launching in November. Straight out of the box it’s packed with more than 7500 television episodes (including The Simpsons), 500 movies (Marvel, Pixar, Star Wars) and more than 45 original series (New Lizzie McGuire, huh?). Stan is shook. Netflix is looking over its shoulder.

We frothed over last years VB capsule collection, the Melbourne Bitterdrop and lapped up the Farmers Union range – but the move into beverage extensions with VB Tea seemed a step too far.

The latest HILDA report was released and it doesn’t look great. The Conversation dug into data and finds Aussie disposable incomes are lower than during the GFC.

Apple takes a swipe at ad tracking with its upcoming OS.

Adobe finds 81% of emoji users believe that people who use emojis are friendlier and more approachable and 64% of emoji users are willing to make a purchase with an emoji. ??

Youth Sense digs into the best and worst places to grab the attention of Gen Z.

Ad standards launched a new campaign to shine a light on the sexism, racism and other issues in ad land.

The Australian arm of Gillette moves away from the ‘The best a man can be’ campaign out of the US, and instead focuses in on local heroes in a very serious brand new spot.

Popeyes sells out of chicken sandwiches following The Twitter Sandwich-apocalypse, putting its newfound popularity at risk. The chain burned through two months of inventory in 2 weeks!

Tradie: No Bounce

Tradie has launched a new campaign to promote its ‘No Bounce’ men’s underwear featuring brand ambassador Nick ‘Honey Badger’ Cummins, developed by Melbourne creative agency The Incubator.

Tradie HQ has been working hard to tackle what ​must​ be one of life’s biggest problems. Those moments when men are running around like a rat in a blender and the old boys pop a bit left of centre. The new technologically advanced ‘No Bounce’ pouch keeps the tackle out of the left wing and the scrum half, cosy and safe in the centre.

The spot highlights Nick ‘Honey Badger’ Cummins’ best assets. His charm and charisma.

It follows a busy couple of weeks on-air for Tradie, after their ladies’ Aussie Fit range launched a fortnight ago with brand ambassadors Danielle Scott and Charlotte Caslick backed by Cummins, (all represented by Lampoon Group) stepping out of the studio and into iconic Australian landscapes, showing off some of our breathtaking coastlines, and rugged, red country.

Says Ben Goodfellow, founder, Tradie: “I’m really excited for the release of our new No Bounce undies advert. Filming Nick ‘Honey Badger’ Cummins in his natural habitat, Outback Australia, allowed us to create our funniest advert to date. I’m sure all Australians are going to love this advert and it will cement Tradie as Australia’s favourite Australian owned underwear brand.”

Lampoon Group Founder and CEO, and Nick Cummins’ Manager, Josh White, also said that “Nick really enjoyed getting into outback Australia this year to shoot the new No Bounce campaign with Tradie. This is Tradie’s biggest campaign yet and we are all thrilled with how it has turned out.”

Says Kyran Docker, creative director, The Incubator: “Taking Tradie out of the studio has been a natural evolution of the brand, and we’re thrilled with how it’s come together. To be able to demonstrate not only Nick’s great sense of humor, but to also show off what makes this country fantastic, has been a wonderful experience, and has resulted in great content that we can’t wait to share.”

The spot will bounce onto screens this Sunday August 25th.
