The Monkeys Unveils New Telstra Work Featuring Triple J Unearthed Artist Thelma Plum

The Monkeys has unveiled its latest work, a campaign for Telstra that showcases the magic that is possible when you combine technology with the capabilities of Australia’s fastest mobile network.

The 60-second commercial follows emerging Triple J Unearthed artist Thelma Plum as she heads out on a walk to the shops. This turns into much more of an enchanting experience as she harnesses the power of the Telstra network through her phone.

Directed by Joel Kefali of Goodoil Films, it features a fresh rendition of Flight Facilities’ track Clair de Lune by Thelma herself; the song has been released to coincide with the launch of the campaign.

The Monkeys cofounder and creative director Justin Drape said: “It has been a fun ride bringing this campaign to life. We’re thrilled to be able to work with Thelma – she has a captivating way of demonstrating the magic that’s possible when technology and the country’s best mobile network come together.”
