Goldstein says farewell, solace sought in ice cream

October 12th, 2010 by StopPress Team

Who’s it for: ASB by TBWA\Tequila and Paul Middleditch

Why we like it: Ira Goldstein has been a feature of New Zealand’s advertising landscape for about 10 years. And this is his final swansong for ASB. So let us bow our heads and give thanks to a pretty damn good innings. Goodbye dear bumbling New York banker/spy. It was fun while it lasted. May your bagels be profitable.

Who’s it for: Kapiti ice cream by Shine and Flying Fish

Why we like it: Colenso took a gold EFFIE for the ‘Kapiti on a Stick’ campaign, which targeted the ladies and gave Fonterra’s premium ice cream range a bit of design cred. And Kapiti’s new agency Shine continues that trend with the latest spot for its new multi-pack offering.

TVC of the Week

- Confidence, couches and cockies
  Who’s it for: Rexona by Generator United and Curious.
  Why we like it: Depending on your viewpoint, the last Rexona spot that aired around the Rugby World Cup was either overwrought and overly earnest or powerful and beautifully shot. The follow up is fairly earnest as well, but Darryl Ward’s made it look purty in black and white and the slightly more casual approach works for us.
  Who’s it for: Telecom by Saatchi & Saatchi and Prodigy
  Why we like it: A simple idea, well executed—and there’s even a dose of sexy vampire-related humour. Extra points for the lead character’s rapid line spitting and the numerous attempts it probably took to get it right.
  
  Who’s it for: National Bank by DraftFCB and Robber’s Dog
  Why we like it: There’s a rich heritage of city slicker agencies claiming to know how to talk to the rural audience. But DraftFCB nailed it with this one (which we completely missed when it was launched ages ago as part of the ‘For the Places You’ll Go’ campaign).
