As if one mega-craniumed Steve Buscemi wasn't enough in Telstra's comedic campaign from last year, the brand has launched a follow-up that sees the actor paired with another gorgeously designed set, a line-up of baddies, and another version of himself.
Again demonstrating the network's security abilities, Bear Meets Eagle on Fire's new work again sees the scene-eating Buscemi as Supreme Leader, having his even grander cyber scams thwarted.
Continuing the brilliant production design and costuming from the first execution and topping it off with some delightfully silly nods - the three-handed cat petting and 'not quite Khan' sidekick being our faves - this delightful piece from Randy Krallman of SMUGGLER is complimented by a cheeky pair of additional sketches.
"Great villains always come back for a sequel," explains Alita McMenamin, Telstra Head of Brand and Marketing Communications. "The second chapter of this campaign takes what Australians loved about the original and raises the stakes, using humour and storytelling to bring an important message to life: helping Australians stay safer online.”
“I’m really proud of this," adds Micah Walker, Chief Creative Officer of BMEOF. "I think we’ve managed to take some learnings from last time and make something even better. Massive cheers to the whole village it took to bring this all to life.”
