YOU NEED A HIPPO - TVC
Human.kind Advertising commissioned Adam to rework the famous Starship track, "We Built This City", for the latest Hippo TVC. The lyrics were changed to "You Need A Hippo..." and sung by a real live hippo (OK, we're joking) over some high-pitched backing vocals courtesy of J.B. Arthur and guitars by Jethro Butow. Go to our TV reel on our new website to hear this and more.

Okay. Back to Earth...
Advertising is still a predominantly visually driven madhouse. To be seen trumps, to be heard and bigger is always "bestest". But when it comes to really grabbing attention, vision cannot hold a candle to sound.
Few people realise that we can hear much more that we can see. Simply compare the SEVEN colours of the rainbow to the TWELVE keys in music! :)
Chew on that until next time...
Howard Music.
