Telstra’s holiday campaign, Hello Christmas, brings a whimsical narrative to life in an Australian rural setting. Directed by Glendyn Ivin through Exit Films, the commercial captures an evening encounter between a country hotel local and a gathering of native wildlife and reindeer.
Developed in collaboration with creative agency The Monkeys, the live-action production utilizes soft lighting and cinematic framing to establish a festive atmosphere. With creative direction from Ant Keogh and Connor Beaver, the work leans into a warm, naturalistic aesthetic that emphasizes the rural landscape during twilight.
