Vodafone warns not to rely on luck in pursuit of success

Vodafone is helping New Zealanders be business ready in a new ‘Fortune favours the ready’ campaign via FCB.

The 60-second video explores the highs and lows of business, with a narrator explaining that success is not about relying on luck but rather, it’s earned. It then goes on to explain how the right technology and a team backing you, can enable you to create your own luck.

Meanwhile, a montage of black and white shots of business owners and staff plays out showing them working late, traveling and braving the weather. In all scenarios, Vodafone’s on hand to help keep them connected with those they’re separated from.

General manager of innovation and strategy at FCB Murray Streets says the approach it took celebrates the talent and tenacity of New Zealand business owners and highlights how Vodafone can support them with their expertise in digital connectivity.

It comes from Vodafone’s brief to reflect a fundamental truth that it and its business customers share—that luck is not the deciding factor in success.

Enterprise director at Vodafone Ken Tunnicliffe says: “Vodafone provides innovative solutions that prepare Kiwi businesses to make the most of the opportunities they’ll encounter now and in the future. This campaign demonstrates that productivity and success come from being a fully connected business.”

While ‘Fortune favours the ready’ has a clear business focus, the spot clearly builds on the 2015 ‘Piggy Sue‘ platform by using the same music and a similarly emotion-evoking story.
