DDB MELBOURNE RELAUNCHES SENSIS 1234
Sensis and DDB Melbourne have launched a new campaign to promote Sensis’ revamped 1234 phone information service. The two TV ads were directed by Paul Middleditch, who is well known for his work on the iconic 'Big Ad' and 'Not Happy Jan' spots. Middleditch was also the puppeteer and provided the voice of the sock-puppet character for the spots.
The multi faceted campaign is supported by outdoor, direct marketing and online activity.

Homer Simpson's greatest fear is a Sock Puppet.
A famous director can't help a weak idea, can it?
I just don't get the link - the girl is doing laundry but apparently seeking answers i.e directions etc as well. Makes no sense, and the sock character didn't make me laugh.
The second execution was equally as illogical and lacking in humour. If I was Middleditch I would not have touched this script.
“One of the strengths of the concept DDB have delivered is that it provides an engaging and flexible creative platform for future campaigns..."
Yeah, and England a superb cricket team. What a load of toss.
Kramer's is clowns...
my greatest fear is the director who appears in his own commercials. .. (oh, that was a puppet???)
For a service that supposedly simplifies everything why does it leave me asking so many questions?
does it have to make sense?
For me, ads using humour make more impact. I'm more likely to remember a product that has a funny ad.
I'd think getting people to talk about your product would be the goal "Have you seen the new ad for...."
You will have to grow to love it, everywhere you turn you will see him... outdoor media etc.
It does makes sense, next time you need a phone number, remember not to think of the sock.. Reality is that you will!
And that makes this ad a winner.
