Adelaide shoppers saved by the SA Team.


Shoppers in Adelaide who are stuck for Xmas ideas are being saved by the SA Team from Radio Rentals. The TV campaign created by Melbourne creative advertising agency Wilson Everard may not feature Mr.T, but for thousands of Adelaide customers doing it tough, it features something far more interesting: a team armed with dozens of great gift ideas bursting in to save the day and a great deal of money!

SEMA 2008 –the end of the world as we know it?

We first went to SEMA (the Specialist Equipment Manufacturers Association) show in Las Vegas in 2006 with client Bob Jane T-Marts.
Creative Director Justin Groves and I hired a Hertz Shelby Mustang to really get into the spirit of the event.
Every hot-rodder, tyre and wheel manufacturer and factory tuner was there and the theme was appropriately ‘American Muscle’.
This year’s show in November was as big or bigger with businesses committed to display or attend prior to the September financial meltdown.
The mood of the meeting was ‘let’s enjoy ourselves because we may not be here next year’.
As Ford showed off its new Flex people mover –like a sliced, diced and chopped Range Rover, Chrysler basked in its new Challenger retro sportster being adopted and adapted by almost every tuner and hot-rodder, and GM previewed its new Aussie-fettled Camaro and its new Pontic G8 (Commodore SS), the boss cockeys of all three manufacturers flew their private jets to Washington to beg for government assistance.
SEMA was like the last big party before the adults put all the toys away.
The upside was an Aussie company, Disc Brakes Australia from down the road in Oakleigh, Victoria.
Great display with a Holden Ute –they’ve been at SEMA for ten years and Sales and Marketing Director Martin Peart is optimistic having just opened a warehouse in Detroit despite the doom and gloom merchants.

And this year we hired a Dodge Challenger R/T with a big Hemi up front!

Coodabeen Champion Ian Cover entertains Wilson Everard Advertising clients

Coodabeen Champion Ian Cover entertained an audience of over forty Wilson Everard Advertising clients at the Client Christmas lunch yesterday.
It went something like this: I'll look really good in my Hard Yakka gear and Ambra pantihose, with my Teds Camera around my neck, holding a Bosch drill and a Drummond Golf bag with my wife massaging my neck with a Homedics massager while pushing my Honda mower with Bob Jane All Rounder tyres outside my million dollar Far East apartment thats just been painted with Haymes Paint.
A good time was had by all we are led to believe!
