Optus has recruited comedienne Claire Hooper to spruik its broadband packages in a two minute direct sales ad.

The two-minute long ad, created by M&C Saatchi, sees Hooper – best known for her role the 2008 revival of Good News Week on Ten – presenting a magic show complete with canned laughter to illustrate Optus’ home entertainment bundle.

She was doing another similarly annoying 2 minute ad for the last few months. It was on basically every ad break on The Bolt Report on Sunday’s.

wait, is this an adaptive attempt at Youtube True View or is Optus still just feeling likeas though they are successfully converting old people buying out TV 4 consecutive 30 spots?

Based on the comment above and the fact they gave their own content to Mumbrella to count their views makes me think the latter.
