A1GP

This advertising campaign ran in The New Zealand Herald. These teaser ads were placed to ignite public interest in the new A1GP season, and ecourage the sporting public of New Zealand to get on board with their team. The creative was visually eye catching using Black Beauty as the main feature in the ad, with a Tuatara on the front that conjoured up feelings of patriotism.

Liquorland

This ad ran in The New Zealand Herald on 1st April - April fools day. The ad was announcing a world-first wine tasting experience using an amazing breakthrough printing technology. The ad stated that by using this technology, readers were able to taste five different wines by licking each circle. Wonder how many people were fooled by this clever April fools joke.

NZ Army

Sabato

The New Zealand Herald was used to test the success of this ad in the Auckland market before it rolled out to the rest of the daily newspapers around the country. It appeared twice in the Herald and after the first insertion there was a 40% increase in customer visits to the Auckland showroom. On completion of the campaign, sales at New World - Victoria Park alone were up 66%. 

This ad is a great example of creative use of the newspaper medium where the, newspaper, was used as a napkin.

NZSKIPASS

This ad ran in The New Zealand Herald and the creative has been cleverly designed to make use of the folds within the newspaper. The peak of the folds of the newspaper formed a jump for the skiier. This effect is exclusive to newspaper demonstrating how you can integrate the medium with the design.

Sunsense Anti-Aging Face

This ad was run in The New Zealand Herald and the idea was to show the effect of not properly looking after your skin in the sun. By lifting the full page newspaper ad up to the sun, the back lighting shows the harm, wrinkles and premature aging caused by exposure to UV rays. Cleverly, Sunsense Anti-Aging Face moisturiser also shows through as the hero/solution to this horrifying problem. This ad won a
bronze award at the 2007 Axis Awards.
