AOL

by PAUL WHITFIELD, Marketing 02-Sep-99

AOL this week kicks off a new TV campaign for its free ISP service, Netscape Online. In it, two men trying on a series of bizarre hats shaped as a hi-fi, a cabbage, a handbag, and a pile of sausages. ’I got mine from the butcher,’ says one; the other replies he got his ’from the hi-fi shop’ - in a veiled attack on Dixons’ Freeserve. A voice-over observes ’Strange? Not with free internet access - every kind of company’s at it,’ and extols the virtues of ’Free internet access from a pure internet company’. The ad was created by John O’Sullivan of Mortimer Whittaker O’Sullivan, with media by BBJ Media.
