Australia Post “Spreads The Merry” In Christmas Campaign Via The Monkeys

Australia Post is taking its annual “Spread the Merry” campaign to new heights this year with a continued focus on reconnecting with family and friends.

Created by The Monkeys, part of Accenture Song, the campaign tells the story of an inflatable Santa who has been blown from a suburban lawn on a freewheeling airborne adventure across Australia – spreading the merry as he flies.
