TOYOTA

New Zealand’s toughest truck was going hybrid. Yep, hybrid, like a Prius. We had to convince skeptical rural folk that the new Hilux Hybrid was still as powerful as ever.

So we wrote a headline. It’s currently being towed around the country by a Hilux Hybrid to all of the places Hilux drivers hang out.

DIRECT LINE

When Hollywood calls, Direct Line answers. This is a campaign for Direct Line’s sponsorship of Film on 4. We shot over 60 of these in one day. And by we I mean Daniel Kleinman at Rattling Stick. Legend.

TOYOTA

The Hilux has formed a special bond with New Zealanders and between New Zealanders for over three decades. It’s a bond that’s as unbreakable as the ute itself.

And nothing epitomises that more than a good old window-to-window yarn.

PARALYMPICS NEW ZEALAND

We took the negative comments paralympians constantly hear and used them to get people to watch the Paralympic Games.

Southern Cross Australia

A new brand platform and line for Southern Cross Travel Insurance, and the first ad off the rank.

EXPEDIA

This is called ‘jumping on the royal bandwagon’. It appeared in national newspapers next to articles about Meghan and Harry moving to Canada. Thanks Megs.

AUCKLAND TRANSPORT

Starring Aucklander and Hollywood Stuntwoman Zoë Bell.

TOURISM NEW ZEALAND

The world's first, and only, ad in a passport. 
 

MARIE CURIE

A campaign to get the UK talking about death.

ST MATTHEW IN THE CITY

Our first ad. For a little church behind our agency. This went crazy online - 21 million people visited St Matthew's facebook page in a 3 day period over xmas. Communication and excommunication all in one. 

CAANZ EFFIES

A campaign we did to promote the Effie Awards in New Zealand. It was strangley satisfying watching the top ad men sweat. Shot by Damien Shatford.

VISA

Three independent shops close down in the UK every day. Sad, but true. So for Visa’s first ever Christmas ad, we took a stand for the high street. All real shopkeepers. In their own shops. Singing for their livelihoods.

TOURISM FIJI

We open on a white sand beach…

An invitation to the world to visit Fiji again after two years of closed borders. This is a really important campaign for the thousands of locals who rely on tourism. Originally we wanted to cast a volleyball, but the acting was a little flat, so we went for another Wilson instead.

THE NEW ZEALAND HERALD

These scored a few points in rugby-mad New Zealand.

ASDA

Most brands go for sentimental ads at Christmas. We just went for mental.
