As I have been in South America for a while now, I haven’t really been keeping up-to-the-minute with current events in my home land, Australia.
So I was rather shocked when a fellow Aussie chatting to me at the bar said that K-Rudd was out and his second in command, Julia Gillard, was in power.
Now while I try to stay as far away from politics as much as I can (there are more interesting things in life), as a marketer I knew this would be the perfect time for nimble, opportunistic advertisers to deliver some media relevant messages.
And I wasn’t wrong.
Here is a selection of press ads that appeared alongside the cover-to-cover media coverage.
Nandos - Always the first on a news story
Jetstar - Ex-Prime Minister Get Aways
Yellow Pages - K-Rudd moves out of Kirribilly
Viva - The leader in plays on words
Nurofen - I'm not sure if this is referring to headaches or period pain?
Channel 10 - History repeats itself?
Ikea - More help while Kevin moves house
