I see youuuuu in the crowd A&T.
Average, looks cheap for Sky work….
I like it. Nice work. Well directed.
World class? Lame execution…agree looks budget..
Nice.
These are simple and cute. Screw the haters.
bit of a tall claim in that headline. still, i like the spots for what they are.
Nice spots.
The kind of advertising that puts viewers of rugby
Just found out these are indents for SKY local content so now I like.
I like them, Personally I think they’re going to work really well on Igloo when (if) it launches, not to mention Prime.
Whatever these are… That’s a whole lot of creative people and not too much creativity. But if there’s a client service person or planner who came up with these thought in the first place, then good thinking! That’s about it really.
NZRU illiterate?
If these were on Facebook I would totally like them.
I’d rather pull off my toenails than have my name on this work.
Painful: Couldn’t agree more.
Nice, I like
DDB have done some great work for SKY in the past…..but this is a 1st class steaming turd burger. Cheap, nasty little spots that lack even a thread of humour. Do the right thing and give the client their money back for this campaign, I know you guys think its funny getting the office cleaners to come up with creative from time to time, but enough is enough.
Now may be a good time to point out that these aren’t actually ads. Here is the TV3 equivalent. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2z1ek_firehorse-films-nz-on-air-and-tv3-l_shortfilms
Ahhhhhh now I get it. I thought the local content was what we were watching. That confused me a lot. Nice idea. Would have been better to shoot these it at a real game though.
