Specsavers celebrates 15 years of ‘Should’ve’ campaign Down Under with new spot

Specsavers’ iconic ‘Should’ve gone to Specsavers’ campaign is celebrating 15 years in Australia, with a new ad from the brand’s in-house creative team, The Agency.

The 30-second spot, which features a father and son on a fishing trip, debuted over the weekend on Channel Nine and during Seven News.

The duo are enjoying the great outdoors, when the dad mistakenly uses the boat keys as fishing bait. Humourously, he states he could “stay out here forever”, as the familiar ‘Should’ve gone to Specsavers’ tagline appears on screen.

Shaun Briggs, director of marketing planning, Specsavers ANZ, said: “After 15 years, we are excited to be in market with a big brand ‘Should’ve’, no trade offer just a great piece of pure brand placement, which aims to delight audiences and inspire them to be as excited about eye health as we are.

“The strength of ‘Should’ve Gone to Specsavers’ is the gentle reminder it gives Australians of all ages to look after their eye health while also making them smile.”

The campaign also features a 15-second version of the duo.

The new spot is rolling out nationally across TV, BVOD, YouTube and Cinema.
