Tourism Board Travel: Baz Lurhmann Hearts Australia

October 9, 2008 at 9:30 AM | 1 Comment

Seen the new ads promoting the great Down Under land of Australia? Two "mini-movie" ads created by Baz Luhrmann have just started showing in 22 countries so keep an eye on your screens. (Or watch it after the jump.)

After the Where the bloody hell are you? campaign turned into a bunch of web clicks, no extra visitors and a lot of complaints, Tourism Australia had to get something pretty good in the pipeline.

Tying in the Baz Luhrmann connection with the forthcoming Australia movie is smart, and there's a set of print ads to go with it like this one. Luckily they're not all as stereotyped as a kangaroo on a beach.

    Austrlia tourism ads

    Was really excited about the movie when the trailer first came out. Was sure that the movie would be a huge boost to tourism. Not as convinced after seeing the commercials. http://seeanz.com
