In the crazy world of brand marketing, it’s never less than a laugh a minute. Unfortunately our TV ads are generally a lot shorter than that. Those who’ve been with us for a while (as staff or listeners) will be aware of our infrequent forays into the murky waters of TV advertising and whilst our budgets were small, our (ahem) creativity was never lacking.
Those who remember Pete & Geoff as eggs (because everyone eats an egg at breakfast, don’t they?) will not have been surprised to see the food idea has been something of a constant.

Hands up those who remember this classic featuring one Beau the dog?
Note: hi-tech realistic paw action, and he types faster than anyone in programming.
And budgets must have been really tight the year we came up with this:
Fortunately for Russ, Christian and everyone else we are unlikely to be thinking in this direction for the new ad, and we even have a bigger budget to play with. Now, where did I put those banana costumes?
