Nothing like Australia... cheeky Kiwis hijack campaign strapline on Facebook, Twitter, Flickr

Picture 1031.pngPicture 1032.pngWell it didn't take the Kiwis long to hijack the Tourism Australia 'There's nothing like Australia' campaign, with 'Nothing Like Australia' on Facebook, Twitter and Flickr all now controlled by Tourism New Zealand. Whoever is in charge of Tourism Australia's social media campaign will surely be shitting themselves right now.

Oh dear. Oh VERY dear. Shitting themselves will be the least of the their problems, for whoever is behind the social media management of the Tourism Australia campaign! Wasn't there a recent shake-up of TA's agencies, with pitches left, right and centre?

Had to happen. "There's nothing like Australia" is so broad and bland it's crying out for improvement. Even the domain name www.nothinglikeaustralia.com.au behind the Aus campaign is like a challenge to pranksters.

There's nothing like a fuck up. Well Australia, you did leave yourself open for it.
The thing with social media is you can't control it for one...

Hahahahahahaha. Great initiative. That’s what you get for running around focusing purely on TV.

Very funny, but also very effective if they use it to hit some key negatives about Oz.

Nothing like Australia.
No poisonous snakes. No sharks. No deadly spiders. No killer jellyfish.
Welcome to new Zealand.

Isn't it sad that the only thing that New Zealanders can say about themselves is that they're NOT Australia. Although, it's good to see that the new Tourism line has already entered the vernacular.

No chance at being charged with beasteality.

1:46 - The 100% Pure campaign seems to have managed to say things unrelated to not being australian for a pretty long time.

The best Australia's come up with is Bingle and now this beige non-statement you could apply to any country in the world.

Come on 1.46, where is your sense of humour? The TNZ response is both funny and clever. Everything that the new positioning and execution for Australia isn't.

It is just rubbish and worse than the previous effort. Go Walkabout? Really? Hahaha.

Well I suppose at least Baz made a killing and the agency finance department.

Pity the poor taxpayers.
