Australian absurdvertising

There’s been a range of brands playing the absurd advertising card in recent years, from Old Spice to Skittles to HTC. And Aussie loan company Nimble has joined that club and pushed the boat a long way out with three weird—and weirdly compelling—ads from Clemenger BBDO Brisbane and The Sweet Shop’s Steve Ayson. 

As the release says: “In his inimitably dry style, Ayson’s taken three unexpected situations including heavily pregnant men shopping for cots, tiny naked Germans having a sauna in a car engine bay, and a couple of duplicitous blokes dressed up as a pet dog, and added typically oddball street casting with beautifully crafted performances to create a uniquely quirky, and utterly memorable series of brilliant spots.”
