Ads from the weekend: Huggies; Bendigo Bank; Devondale; CUA; HostPlus; Simmonds

It was a busy weekend for new ads, so we’ve wrapped several of the latest TVCs up in one easily digestible story for you.

Huggies has launched a new campaign promoting “the new and improved Huggies Baby Wipes”.

Created by Ogilvy Sydney, the ‘Mum’s don’t miss a thing’ campaign features a mother chasing around after her child, from preventing the baby drinking from a pet’s water bowl to catching the knocked off sippy cup, with the campaign focusing on how mums want a baby wipe that also doesn’t miss a thing.
