In this week's edition of peculiar, but intriguing ad associations,
Aussie agency BMF has executed and launched the web portion of its
campaign for Toohey's Extra Dry beer, which continues to somehow
align pompadour-wearing rockabilly types with sci-fi themes to
promote the beverage. "Instead of scratching our heads for an idea
to dramatize the desire for the clean crisp taste of a Tooheys
Extra Dry, the creative team chose to pluck hairs instead,"
explains BMF executive creative director Warren Brown.
Visitors are greeted with a field of pods that are not too far
removed from the movie Alien. Mouseovers then sprout up
several sections to click through, including "TED TV," which
streams the eerie TV commercial, a "TED of War" game which lets you
attempt to wrestle a bottle of the brew away from a zombified
rocker by toggling the arrow keys, and even a sketchbook that
provides vivid, detailed guidelines for maintaining your harvest.
By claiming that a strand of a puffed-up coif (or "quiff" Down
Under) provides the nourishment for brewing TED, BMF's odd spot
will likely unite both X-Files and Stray Cats fans the
world over.
