“Challenges gender norms in a humorous way. Captures life moments where an avo’s can be consumed by any person. – Lists the health benefits without an actual list.”
Other readers said the ad is a “planners ad” and “the Australian Avocados TVC is brilliantly shot, a great creative and beautifully production designed and colour graded.”
Rob Martin Murphy, executive creative director at Ikon Sydney, told Mumbrella: “We’re really happy with the win. Hats off to our client Hort Innovation who backed the idea from pitch to production, and to all our partners who helped make it happen. You smashed it.”
