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

- Books, snacks and tiki tours
  Who’s it for: Meridian by Assignment Group and Perendale
  Why we like it: Wells works very well as a quirky Meridian mascot and manages to spread its renewable gospel in a non-preachy, sensible and entertaining way. Plus, it shows off some of the best bits of New Zealand and there’s a pretty good story behind the ad too.
  
  Who’s it for: NZ Book Council by Colenso BBDO and Octane Digital
  Why we like it: Much like the previous powerful effort for NZ Book Council, Going West, the time-consuming paper artistry on display for the follow up well and truly captures the attention and shows how books can shape lives.
  
  Who’s it for: Shapes Roadies by Y&R Auckland and Finch
  Why we like it: Many New Zealanders didn’t take too kindly to the glut of manvertising that was foisted upon us last year. But, judging by the response to the absurd and very entertaining campaign for Roadies, they seem to like manchildvertising. Some bravura performances in the backseat on display here.

  VW’s mashed-up superbowl ad.
  Anti-superbowl advertising.
  You got parodied, Samsung.
  A unique–and elaborate—way to promote fire safety.
  Mysterious flying people.
  YouTube stats—animated.
  Search New Zealand advertising on Facebook and this is what you get, this old chap should’ve gone to Specsavers, great pics of the Tough Guy challenge, search Google Images by drawing, and a great way to put sandwich thieves off the scent.
