The Monkeys and TBWA\Melbourne are set to face off in this year’s Google Skippys competition to create the most effective Connected TV ad.
The agencies were tasked with creating the most memorable and compelling YouTube ad for Aussie start up and delivery service MILKRUN. The winner will be based on which agency can deliver the highest ad recall and the most clicks to MILKRUN’s website.

And here is TBWA\Melbourne’s:
To say the agencies have interpreted the brief differently would be an understatement.
Now in its sixth year, the Skippys competition allows creative agencies to experiment with new ways of keeping eyes on ads and driving user action on YouTube. This year the competition challenged agencies to make for Connected TV, YouTube’s new ad format that allows advertisers to reach viewers on their living room TV screens.
The ads have begun showing on YouTube in Sydney and Melbourne where MILKRUN operates. The winner will be announced in December.
Jonathan Hiley of Google Creative Works said: “The Skippys gives us the chance to have some fun, try new things and help an exciting Aussie Startup all at once. We’re pumped to see how YouTube CTV can help the MILKRUN grow their band and love the work that The Monkeys and TBWA\Melbourne have created.”
Simon Friedlander, creative lead at MILKRUN said: “We loved the opportunity to work with two great agencies and Google to make work that any other grocery company in Australia would steer well clear of.”
