Insurer Ling’s new income sauce

AD MAN: Cameron Ling leads the commercial filming on Moorabool St.

By NOEL MURPHY

LAST time big red Cameron Ling was pumping ads on TV it was for Heinz tomato sauce – now he’s pushing the health barrow for Geelong’s GMHBA.
Together with more than a few mates, the Cats premiership skipper was a front-and-centre traffic-stopper on Moorabool St last weekend as a camera crew filmed a new ad for the private health insurer.
Ling said the exercise was a lot of fun but a bit daunting at the same time.
“Many of my television appearances are live, so I don’t have to watch at home but now I’ll never know when my face is going to pop up in an ad break,” he said.
The new commercial will air in early 2014.
