Vegemite: Happy little Vegemites

Vegemite: Happy little Vegemites

Vegemite, the popular Australian savory food spread made from yeast extract, aired its first advertising jingle back in 1954. The catchy, drum-beat tune rang out across Australia, and quickly became an iconic advertising classic. This new spot combines a more simplified group-sung version of the song against nostalgic, black and white imagery pumped up with bursts of color.
