Computer illiterates rejoice. Radio Rentals SA packs live computer expert in box with computer.

Cinema audiences in South Australia were left in no doubt that when they rent a computer from Radio Rentals, technical support comes as part of the package. The lighthearted, quirky commercial created by Wilson Everard Advertising, sees Dr PC being tossed in the box along with the computer by two Radio Rentals assistants. The box is then stapled shut and the two walk off as the voice over details the offer. For Radio Rentals customers, the Doctor is most definitely in.

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!

Aussie ad campaign adopted by the US to target stressed Americans.

Marketing executives in the U.S. found the new HoMedics Australia Xmas campaign created by Wilson Everard Advertising so relaxing that they decided to adopt the commercial for the U.S. market. In a time where everyone is shouting at TV audiences, it was felt that the gentle, quiet and relaxing nature of the TV commercial would attract audiences by providing some welcome and engaging relief from all the noise. Europe has also expressed interest in adopting the campaign.

Local Country Fire Authority burn up fairway during new Drummond Golf TV campaign for Wilson Everard Advertising.

Hidden Valley Golf and Country Club, north of Melbourne, recently played host to a new television campaign for Drummond Golf created by Wilson Everard Advertising. Members were surprised to see the local CFA crew driving golf carts in formation down the fairway behind golfing legend Brett Ogle. During the two days of filming, members also witnessed a number of other strange and wonderful sights including a world famous individual being dropped head first into a sand bunker. The first commercials go to air in December with more to follow in the New Year.
