Synopsis:

The Gruen Transfer is hosted by Wil Anderson, and features advertising industry regulars Todd Sampson and Russel Howcroft. Amanda Duthie, Head of Arts, Entertainment and Comedy said; We are excited about the success of The Gruen Transfer. Not only because its an original Australian concept, but that it has worked on TV, as well as online. The video mashups has been phenomenal. Andrew Denton from Zapruders other films said, We are thrilled to be given a crack at a second series, as, in some ways, it feels like weve only just begun to explore the extraordinary world of advertising and its ways of persuasion. We are also looking forward to handing out more impossible advertising challenges to the industry, such as making Sam Newman a spokesman for womens rights, or selling nuclear reactors as the must-have facility for your town.
