WWF and Land Rover put radio to good—and novel—use
By

If you believe the NZ on Air media consumption study, music is moving online faster than other content. But you can still reach 83 percent of the country over a week with radio and approximately one in ten New Zealanders each day across just four stations, RNZ National, The Edge, ZM and Newstalk ZB. As a result, the ad spend figures for radio are holding firm. And two brands have used the medium in interesting ways recently, with World Wide Fund for Nature putting an ad inside a song for its Last 55 campaign and Land Rover going long to celebrate its heritage.

By

Land Rover started off not long after World War II when a farmer in the UK stripped a battered army jeep and decided to build something more appropriate. 65 years on and the cars are certainly a whole heap more luxurious, but the brand hasn’t forgotten its roots, and Big Communications is showcasing this evolution with a new campaign that has given the international creative a local twist.
