JUST Mobile | It's Alright to be Tight | Australia

Australian mobile phone company ComTel says 'It's all right to be tight' with an integrated nationwide campaign by Whybin\TBWA\Tequila.

The campaign aims to promote the company’s JUST prepaid mobile service. Investing heavily in television, print and online executions, the work is lead by a character called Davo who tries to save money in every aspect of his life. Based on research form a Millward Brown consumer survey, 70 per cent of Australians have actively tried to reduce spending this year. “Fondue parties, sales of board games, Domino’s pizza and cleanskin wines,” are back on the favorite pastime chart for Australians, according to Whybin\TBWA.

Saving money is a proud act for Davo even if he has to eat samplers in supermarkets or host a party out of a free wine tasting event. He even tries to earn a bit of extra money by auctioning used tea bags or cotton buds on e-bay.

Whybin\TBWA recently won the account without a pitch; ComTel is a partner company of Vodafone.
