The First Third

May 2009

What a first ‘third of the year’ it’s been in the world of the Monkee!

The Australian Open dominated off the bat (or racquet perhaps) as the new year rolled in, however we were still heavily entrenched in the Department of Transport’s rollout of ‘The Plan’ for rail and road which has been a comprehensive radio and TV campaign. Cool music, great words and pictures.

The Dinosaur Walk for Museum Victoria had us working with palaeontologists, animators, designers and set builders and the finished product, complete with a fortune in rare skeletal beasts, is well worth the visit. Love it!

Final casting and VO sessions for Transmission Games Heroes Over Europe completed a huge project with over 40 in the cast and a massive script featuring some incredible characterisations and dialogue - just ask us about dog fights and bombing raids.

New on the block for us is Nando’s whose quirky, often irreverent approach to applying popular culture to cooking chickens is a fabulously fresh approach to advertising on all mediums - Portugasm indeed!

Pedders also joined us this year in a series of TVC’s and radio spots featuring well known sports commentator and former V8 driver Neil Crompton. No Bull!
