Cadbury is currently dealing with yet another crisis after likening one of its chocolate bars to Naomi Campbell in an ad campaign. As you can probably imagine, the diva is not pleased. But, on the plus, less racist and much more feelgood side, it launched the next rhythmical instalment of the Share the Joy campaign on Kiwi TV last night. And it can be summed up with this quote from an unnamed StopPress staffer: “Yeah, I’d grind to that on the DF.” Read more »

At the start of summer, Cadbury and DDB set themselves a goal: to Share the Joy with the country and find out exactly what joy sounded like to New Zealanders. This manifested itself in cool experiential efforts like the giant snowglobe in Auckland, clap-activated Christmas lights and a massive sprinkler that travelled to beach hotspots around the country and a call to fans to send in their own sounds of joy to add to those recorded for the impressive launch TVC. Now the campaign is getting close to its denouement, with a new ad that was launched last night to promote “the first song created by the joy of a nation”. Read more »

DDB New Zealand is the only agency in the country with an experiential creative director. And with brands increasingly looking to create more memorable experiences for consumers, you only have to look at recent campaigns like Cadbury’s Billboards to Bags campaign, ANZ’s Rugby World Cup promotion and Cadbury’s ‘Share the Joy’ Kiwi roadtrip to see this events mentality is infusing itself into more and more of the agency’s advertising. And the ‘Snow Globe’ it created in Auckland just before Christmas for Kraft Foods NZ was deemed to be one of the best examples of that, taking out gold in the PR/Experiential category. Colenso and Yellow also took gold in this category for Yellow Chocolate, as well as two more bronzes, one for ‘A Rubbish Idea‘ for Heart of the City and the other for ‘Beer: The Untold Story’ for DB Export’.

Who’s it for: Cadbury by DDB NZ and GoodLife Films
Why we like it: Everyone knows there’s plenty of joy to be found in chocolate, but there’s joy everywhere during a New Zealand summer. And this acoustically-led visual feast is certainly a joy to behold.

Cadbury’s Share the Joy movement has so far included a Make Me Laugh gameshow, a giant snowglobe, clap-activated Christmas lights and a giant sprinkler that stopped in at summer hotspots and cooled Kiwis off. Now it has taken a slightly more traditional turn, with an acoustically-led and beautifully shot montage that aims to show what joy sound likes to Kiwis. And from spokey dokes to bombs off the bridge to laughing kids to leather on willow, there’s certainly a solid collection of summer nostalgia on display. Read more »

In the just released January/February edition of NZ Marketing magazine, we looked back on the year’s biggest events/campaigns/achievements/flops/stoushes and compiled an obligatory—and extremely definitive—end of year list. But we figured it would pay to ask a few more industry high-rollers for their thoughts on the year in marketing. We’ll be posting their responses to our questionnaire over the next week. But to get the ball rolling, watch the opinions fly as Courtney Lambert offers her take on 2010′s goods, bads and uglies. Read more »
