“MO & JO: The Lennon and McCartney of Australian advertising, for two decades they dominated advertising in a way we might never see again”
(AFA chairman Russel Howcroft)
MOJO, the agency that had Australians singing along to its ads for beer, cricket and margarine was founded in 1979 by the late Alan Morris (Mo) and Allan Johnston (Jo). With Don Morris, Mo's brother (their Brian Epstein if you like) joining the team to run the business side of things.
The Mojo approach to TV advertisements used a colloquial and irreverent style, often with a catchy jingle to simple accompaniment and frequently sung in Jo's own "charismatic, gravelly" voice. Contrasting against the clipped and British-imitating style of voice presenters on Australian TV up till that point, Mojo ads highlighted Australian idiom and accent. Like the Beatles, they created songs with ideas, songs that spoke to the heart, rather than the head. Songs about brands. Let's call it 'commercial creatitivity

Was this an Australian baseball player?
It's not Australian to sing a song about an American sport. That's treason!
Australia is ranked 7th in the world in Baseball and has a silver Olympic Medal. Not the national sport but we play it well above our weight,
Not totally American sport came from Rounders an English developed sport
who cares - its a brilliant ad & tooheys also did ads for aussie rules, rugby league, rugby union, cricket, horse racing, surfing, sailing & more
These are all brilliant ads!!! Well played MOJO!!!
A Bloody Beauty....
Great memories.
Interesting. How'd it work out?
Stropp reminds me of that "I'll get you, Butler" bus guy :-)
Thanks Aussie girls for brightening up our lives.
Started on cartoon corner and never looked back. Legend.
Thanks Ben.
"If" I win the lottery... lol
Back when men were men. Rest in peace Rex.
The good old days.
Classic ad. Classic series of ads. Makes me thirsty :-)
RIP Ross Higgins...
Creativity, Quality and a touch of Aussie humor. All the tings that MOJO did best and they haven't been bettered by any advertiser to this day!
Yet again the MOJO agency produces another advertising gem. Creativity par excellence!
Wonderful example of creative, Imaginative & just plain clever advertising. Advertisers now days haven't got a clue , but this stuff will simply be around for years!
She made it when she married Billy.
haha winning a logie is making it? I don't think so. Song should be about the Aussies who've made it big overseas.
Why don't you take a running jump and go straight to hell.
What a blast. This is one of my all-time favorites and awesome quality. Came out my first year in high-school (1981) and I always think about it when I travel. It will always live with me. Thanks a million Mojo!

The right jingle in the right place at the right time - a key component to the success of WSC - this was truly "lightning in a bottle". Brilliantly done by Morris & Johnston.....
