Head Home to Goundrey Country
Where is Goundrey Country? Guangzhou, Shanghai or possibly near Brokeback Mountain. The latest billboard for Western Australian winemaker, Goundrey Wines has a striking resemblance to that of Marlboro Man cigarette advertisements first created by Leo Burnett in the 1950's. One of the most successful advertising ever devised, it [...]
Bud Goes for Big Aussie Grab
Will Bogans Grab a Bud? Good ol' American red-neck beer, Budweiser otherwise known as Bud, is currently being promoted in Australia with a "Grab Some Buds" sign recently spotted. Whilst Budweiser beer might be an institution in United States (and possibly Canada) it's somewhat of a mystery here in Oz. Yes, we've heard the of this stuff, [...]
Sydney Nestea billboard gets defaced
Aussie readers might recall the recent Nestles Nestea billboard adverts around the place of the green chameleon drinking iced tea from a straw. I covered the original billboard advert here: Nestea Billboard However, someone took a disliking to the local Nestea billboard in the Sydney suburb of Glebe. Crude, but mildly amusing. Photo [...]
Apparella Apple Cider
The decadent claims of Apparella Dolce Cider.Will there will be a uproar over this? (hopefully) Just kidding. Apparella Dolce Cider has put up these classy looking shopping centre advertisements claiming it's made from apples so good who could blame Eve. Boy that's some claim... So this is how you sell alcohol to women. Compared this technique [...]
Chameleon loves Nestea
Those pesky Chameleons are at it again. Drinking Nestea from a straw. A recent bus stop advertisement for Nestle Nestea.
Hahn Super Dry For Gentlemen Who Wish to Stay Premium

Pepsi Hits the Refresh Button
You may have noticed Pepsi has a new look recently. With that, Pepsi Australia has a new summer promotion happening right across Aussie cities along with HitRefresh billboards appearing all over the place. On selected days, Pepsi will place these plastic "buttons" around popular parts of each city waiting to be found. Whoever finds one, wins [...]
Was that my Ad?
Spotted in Perth Australia. The advertising agency who got the Yellowglen contract is laughing. A picture of a woman and a few bubbles. That's it. It must be drunk by sophisticated peeple who understand such imagery. However, if you're still scratching your head about this sign, it seems to be for Yellowglen sparkling wines..I [...]
Old Fashioned Aphrodisiac…Milk?
Photo Credit: Roadsidepictures Has your mother ever told you the real reason why you were born? It's because of milk... and great billboards like this from the 1960's. Check this billboard from the 1960's for Oak Farms Milk and 7 Eleven stores. Oh Lordy, sweet mumma.., milk can do that? Perhaps by today's standards it would be [...]
Carlton Draught Beer Gets Fresh
Spotted in Perth, Australia. "Fresher than a hot towel at a Chinese restaurant." I always thought beer was fresh when coming straight from the tap at the local pub.. but only now has Carlton Draught addressed this unmet need for beer drinkers. Also I'm guessing this billboard aimed at Aussie guys with Chinese/Asian girlfriends. A night out [...]
