Sky re-dips its toes in the internet stream

December 1st, 2009 by The Media Counsel

The ‘Sky Online’ service was switched off back in August. But look what’s happening now.

Advertisers are the good guys for a change? What’s up with that?
The vampires are back and our box office has been infected.
A slight blog indiscretion causes problems for TVNZ.
And a quick Ears Up on recent radio happenings.

All the stories in the media monitor are now blog posts, so either click the links above or download the whole shebang MediaMonitor 30-November-09

TVC of the Week

  Who’s it for: Vodafone by Colenso BBDO and Flying Fish
  
  Why we like it: Place this firmly in the ‘how’d they do that?’ category. Colenso BBDO and Flying Fish’s Wade Shotter have joined forces to create a TVC that’s intended to start a conversation about the joy of newness and, of course, showcase Vodafone’s innovations for the home, mobile or business (for all those hankering for a glimpse of how it all came together, the making of will be released soon). Vodafone, like most big telcos, has always championed its new technology, new products and new services, and while some *ahem, 2degrees* might say this reliance on new technology in its marketing was an attempt to pull the wool over consumer’s eyes and keep prices high, telcos are in the business of cool. And this TVC fits the bill.
  
  The mobile spot was directed by Helena Brooks.
Woop of the Week

  Tammy Davis fronts a campaign for a company called Iwi Kireme (a subsidiary of the quite entertaining Next Level Maori, apparently) that hopes to collect “our finest genetical little wiggly guys in order to create a better race of Aotearoians mingled with magical elements”.
  
  Masculinity is under attack. But if you drink VB, it might just come back.
  
  Snacks get weird: first Skittles, then Doritos, now Mentos.
  
  Is it a dog? Is it a human? Is it the demon spawn resulting from an act of unnatural love? Or is it all some kind of amazing trick?
  
  A call to arms (with cured meats) for the Salami Fighting Association; rare photos of famous people; a cool print campaign for IBM; and if you haven’t had a play with the Tippex YouTube experience yet, you should.
