TELUS uses hippo to boast about their big network
With TELUS taking Rogers head on with their “reliability” claims nothing is stopping them from boasting about their own network size.
So what does TELUS do to represent this? Well, as always we see the TELUS animals… but in order to get the right scope a mongo hippopotamus is being used!
Check it out here… it’s pretty funny.Aren’t hippos considered to be slow animals though?

I find this commercial quite amusing. It almost makes me want to stick it out with Telus. Almost. It will be interesting to see how the new entrants market themselves against our favorite incumbents! I would harken to guess the ad campaigns will go something like this:
Public mobile: grandma and grandpa can now afford to be mobile too. Simple and affordable, that’s public mobile! TM
Dave: like contracts, get a lawyer. Like Bell, so do we.
Wind Mobile: The new bully on the telecom block, were taking the “wind” out of your sales!
I for one am looking forward to the telecom smack down! How about you?

Hi folks,
Jim here from TELUS. The last time we used Hazina (the hippo) in a TELUS commercial was actually in 2005. It created quite an impression back then and we are very pleased to hear that many people remember it like it was just last year!

I love that hippo. Makes me want to switch to Telus.
I wonder how the hippo was treated though?
Do you think Telus would commit animal cruelty?
