WTFN BE supported WTFN and Nine’s new lifestyle series Space Invaders by introducing a number of brand partners to the project.
Space Invaders stars Peter Walsh, Cherie Barber and Lucas Callaghan, as real life Australians with a home clutter problem have their homes and lives transformed.
The likes of Storage King, Mercedes Benz and Fantastic Furniture supported the series as major sponsors, accessing primetime audiences on Nine and a range of integration benefits.
Throughout the series, brand products and services are seamlessly integrated into the series, as the team races against time to deliver the new home on time and on budget.
The tenth edition of the hit TV series Bondi Vet has enhanced by the inclusion of several major brands in the pet sector.
Household names including Hill’s Pet Nutrition, PAW by Blackmores and Elanco (formerly Bayer Animal Health) joined the series to share in the rich and emotional connection between people and their pets. The brands shared in a range of inventory including in-episode integrations plus a range of digital content assets.
WTFN BE’s GM Derek Dyson said it was Bondi Vet’s brand equity and unique ability to reach large, engage audiences that has been a major drawcard for brand partners.
“Bondi Vet is undoubtedly one of the most recognisable TV series in Australia and undoubtedly the #1 pet and animal show in the country. Our brand partners saw a chance to align with the heritage and appeal of the series,” he said.
“Beyond the TV screen, our digital network of 1.5m subscribers gives our partners access to a group of engaged views, who, if you reward them with the content they are after, they are happy for us to put brands forward for consideration,” he added.
Bondi Vet is now heading into an eleventh season and pet brands are invited to contact WTFN BE to register their interest.
With more than three quarters of a million digital subscribers, Bondi Vet is Australia’s #1 digital channel for pets and animals.
The Bondi Vet YouTube Channel is in the top 25 most popular pet and animal category globally, with fresh content published to a quarter of a million subscribers every day. On Facebook audiences drive 30 million+ views a month.
This growth has allowed Bondi Vet to transcend far beyond a television series to become 365 day a year, 24 hours a day proposition for audiences and brands.
Fans tune in for brand new content, classic episodes and fun compilations in a very active and engaged community.
McDonald’s Gets Grilled is a groundbreaking television documentary which targets one of the world’s most famous, but equally controversial companies.
But not only has McDonald’s Australia taken the unprecedented step of agreeing to participate, it has also allowed independent production company, WTFN, unfettered access to all areas.
Cameras followed six average Australians during an intensive seven days of amateur investigating. They were up at dawn seeing first-hand how lettuce, potatoes and tomatoes destined for McDonald’s are grown. Farmers faced probing questions about pesticides and food miles.
At the lettuce processing plant chlorine proved to be an issue, and at the dairy plant, sugar in the shakes. The teams inspected beef and poultry farms where hormones in stock feeds were the main concerns. They saw beef being made into burgers, and chicken meat into nuggets, and demanded to know about preservatives and phosphates.
At the McDonald’s stores the teams saw the finished products being assembled with the company’s trademark military precision. There they wanted to know about staff exploitation, cleanliness, food holding periods, and for the biggest skeptics among them, how the food tastes.
Ultimately as we all follow this intriguing journey it will be more than a program about fast food and McDonalds. It’s a social experiment that tests whether people, faced with overwhelming evidence challenging their long-held prejudices, can ever accept the truth.
