Who else can’t remember what they did yesterday, but still knows every word to this ad? 👀
Written by Murray Grindlay, it playfully reworks a 1950s country tearjerker into a ‘Dear John’ letter with a twist, brought to life by Jacqui Fitzgerald’s memorable vocals. Directed by Tony Williams, the ad won multiple awards and was later voted the Best Australasian Commercial of the 1980s.
