Neutrogena TV Commercial
This week and last, loads of MCTV extras were working on a new Neutrogena Commercial for Australian screens. There have been several scenes including one at a ballet studio.
CBA Photographic Campaign
The other week a couple of our older MCTV talent were on a photo shoot for the Commonwealth Bank. These shoots are normally used for billboards or in store brochures.
While I was looking for some examples of previous campaigns I came across some beautiful photographic retouching that was done for a previous Commonwealth campaign. Click the link below to see some other stunning examples.
To promote Commonwealth Bank’s new online hub for building diverse investment portfolios we created a striking campaign that represents the changing face of finance. True to M&C Saatchi’s founding philosophy – “Brutal Simplicity” – these portraits help humanise a highly innovative and intuitive product.

New Fitness First TV Commercial
One of our MCTV Actors has been lucky enough to land a featured role on a new Fitness First commercial. Hopefully it will be enough to get me off my computer and into the Gym.

Stock Photography Shoot
While MCTV talent have been all over Sydney last week shooting Hacksaw Ridge, Janet King, Rake and the new Peter Brock Telemovie some of our talent were doing photo shoots for stock photography. Stock photography libraries take photographs of people and things that will be used for websites, brochures and other marketing materials around the world. Some of the more well known libraries are iStockPhoto and ShutterStock .
Getting Paid to Watch TV
Several times each year we receive requests for live studio audience members for brand new television series. It doesn’t take any particular skill, just availability. It can be great fun but usually you are prevented from telling people about the show before it goes to air. It really is that simple to get paid while watching TV. Just last week we sent a ton of people to be paid audience members for a new ABC production.
Dick Clark talks to Myrna Horowitz, one of the original dancers when the program began in 1950, on Bandstands 17th anniversary in 1970.
