Brief Explanation

Created by The Monkeys, the foot-tapping spot starts off in a local butcher shop and cuts to famous landmarks across Australia and around the world to show how a customer's request for 'just' a rump steak fails to do justice to the greatness of Beef. The online piece includes appearances from Aussies who embody greatness, legendary cricket commentator Bill Lawry, award-winning actor Kate Ritchie and Olympic gold medallist, Liesel Jones. Three 30-second edits will deliver supporting messages on why Australian beef is the greatest meat on earth, giving consumers reasons to believe in the Greatness proposition. They will cover Beef's nutrition credentials, its versatility and range of cuts as well as the superior provenance of Australian Beef.

Execution

MLA was a combination of studio and location shooting over 3 days. The casting challenge was to find a likeable lead who could sing and play off our other lead male. The cast included celebrities and actors from around the country. Each scene consisted of studio sets with post production enhancements.
