Ali Wong returns.

Vodafone is back with Ali Wong to show customers they can get a “big telco experience that’s cheaper than TBLEEPra” in a campaign via Howatson+Company. 

Ali returns in a tongue-in-cheek interaction with a stereotypical “big telco” legal team, doubling down on Vodafone’s core message: Australians can get a great telco experience without paying more. 

“Ali has helped us cut through because she says what customers are already thinking,” said TPG Telecom group chief marketing officer, Bec Darley. 

“This next chapter doubles down on our belief that a premium telco experience shouldn’t come with a premium price tag.” 

The campaign will roll out nationally across film, online video, social, and out-of-home. 

“Once again Ali is asking a very fair question, why are people paying more?” said Howatson+Company deputy CCO Richard Shaw. 

“This time we’ve been even more direct and playful in the execution.”
