Australian Agency's Christmas Card Lectures Clients

bmf_australia_xmas.jpg

Spoofing its own "UnAustralian" ad featuring Sam Kekovich, BMF Australia, in its Christmas card, tells advertisers to "increase the size of your budgets, decrease the size of your Legos logos, make better ads and make sure you put me in them." While we have no idea what the Legos (note, he said Legos, not Lego), reference means, Kekovich says he's sick of watching bad advertising such as singing families in breakfast commercials and women having orgasms to sell shampoo and says "you don't have to make ads dull enough to sedate hyperactive Australian Idol contestants just to sell your products."

To explain the power of good advertising, Kekovich tells marketers, "Take my lamb ad. it won loads of awards and sold shitloads of lamb." And to those in charge of business, Kekovich says, "the research-driven, penny-pinching, logo-loving CEOs out there may disagree with me but they can get stuffed." Such a delightful, however very true, holiday greeting. Give it a watch.

I don't think you can comprehend Australian. It's "logos", not "Legos".

"Logos," Steve. Decrease the size of your logos.

What a hook, I came is from the RSS feed to see what a Legos logos was. :>

It is a great name and potentially a great idea. A large company with subsidiaries builds logos like legos.
