Australia Post has introduced a new intern in a recent campaign in collaboration with The Monkeys, part of Accenture Song.
The fifth year of Australia Post Christmas commercials by The Monkeys features a storyline where a curious Santa Claus assumes the role of intern “Nick” at Australia Post, teaming up with postie Alex. Together, they explore how Australia post gets the job done during the Christmas season; no magic needed.
Catriona Noble, EGM of retail, brand and marketing at Australia Post, commented, “Australia Post is proud to deliver Australian’s their Christmas presents each year, but whilst Santa has reindeer and sleighs, we’re slightly more 2024 with our App, Parcel Lockers and electric powered fleet and this campaign juxtaposes those two contrasting worlds in a really charming and fun way.”
Ant Keogh, chief creative officer at The Monkeys, mentioned how the campaign celebrates Australia Post and Santa Claus “in a way that’s fun and entertaining.”
Keogh said, “Australia Post and Santa Claus go together like milk and cookies. They both work hard to deliver joy at Christmas time, and both have a penchant for the colour red.”
The campaign, directed by Tony Rogers from Guilty Content, has been launched nationally across television, in-store, online, radio, and social.
