On The Dial: Hamish and Andy return to radio, The Collective fill in on Nova

Hamish and Andy return to drive

Hugely-successful radio duo Hamish and Andy will move back into drive.

The boys will be on air from 4-6pm on the Today Network for two weeks while Daz and Maz go on holidays.

“Hopefully we remember how to use the equipment before we start next week,” they said on their Facebook page.

Hamish Blake and Andy Lee presented drive on the Today Network full time from 2006 to 2010. They moved into a part-time drive role in 2011 when they wanted to pursue more TV work and have since introduced Hamish and Andy’s Business Brunch followed by Hamish and Andy’s Happy Hour.

The boys’ next TV appearance is their Gap Year project on Nine in which they feature South America. It’s on air from Tuesday, July 1.

Australians win silver at Radio Lions in Cannes

Australians have picked up three silver awards at the Radio Lions in Cannes.

Clemenger BBDO was awarded for its Mars M&Ms campaign; Saatchi & Saatchi’s for its Capi Sparkling water campaign; and Leo Burnett, Sydney for the radio component for Samsung’s S:Drive safe driving activity.

Leo Burnett Creative Director Vince Lagana told AdNews: “I think we [the Australian industry] are getting better at it and trying different things. I was impressed with the quality of work from this year and how it really stood up to the rest of the world – there’s a couple of silver winners in there.

“I think [radio] is maybe not as glamorous as some of the other mediums, but there’s an opportunity in radio to talk to people, and something like Lucozade has the power to get people talking and getting people talking about radio ad isn’t easy because it isn’t a TV ad.”

The Radio Lions’ Grand Prix went to a South African campaign for Lucozade from Ogilvy & Mather Johannesburg.
