Supercheap Auto is always looking for ways to ‘Make it Super’. So this Black Friday, they’re going pitch black: by cutting the lights, and their prices, storewide.

The campaign, created by The Monkeys, part of Accenture Song and directed by Edwin Mcgill at Guilty, features the return of over-confident, under-prepared Supercheap Auto spokesman Nathan Murray.

Murry said: “As a kid, I was always afraid of the dark. But the only thing lurking in the darkness on Pitch Black Friday is a great deal. Also a working chainsaw…I did not know we sold those.”The Monkeys creative director Adam Slater added: “Don’t adjust your TV set, these prices are real. Actually, you may need to adjust your brightness a little bit…it’s pretty dark.”Supercheap Auto head of marketing Julia Wilcox said:“We know Aussies are looking for a great deal on Black Friday. But we also know they’re sick of seeing the same old sales messages. So we decided the best way to stand out was to go lights out: and create a campaign that has to be (not) seen to be believed.”The integrated campaign launches this week in Australia and New Zealand across TV, social, online and in-store.
