Woolworths & MyPlanet TVC – Who’dunnit?
So this is how it works, MyPlanet, which is part of the MySchool initiative, gives you the chance to select an environmental/animal charity of your choice and every time you swipe your linked Woolworths card, they donate up to 1% of the value of your purchases to them. Cool idea and an animated TVC to match. We’re guessing Jupiter is behind this but need confirmation. If anyone knows who did the animation please let us know. They deserve to be credited don’t you think?
