Sensis, Australia’s dominant online and print directory specialist, is renaming the brand “Yellow Pages” as “Yellow”. The new brand has been launched with “Yellow Scooter Squad”, a 30 second television commercial.
A woman (played by Sharni Page) goes online to www.yellowpages.com.au to find hairdressers in Kensington, the name of a suburb in Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, Adelaide and Bundaberg. From the back of her computer six scooters emerge, racing out to paint Kensington yellow. The first three on the list are Kenzo Hair, Hair Off Crown and Snippitz Hair Design. The final screen has Yellow’s taglines, “Find, Buy, Sell”, and “Let us do the hard work for you”, with logos for internet, book and mobile phone directories.
