Eating to win: George Weston and Colenso BBDO promote the bread of champions
By

A number of ads featuring top sports stars often revolve around them needing the very best to perform at their peak (even if it is rugby players needing the very best deodorant, hair care products or, most ridiculously, batteries). But George Weston Foods, Colenso BBDO and Finch have given that advertising cliche a bit of a nudge by focusing on a hardcore four square warrior for the launch of its new Tip Top Hi-Protein Bread.

Third time’s a charm as Colenso takes another YoungGuns honour
By

The YoungGuns awards aim to recognise the world’s best advertising and communications industry talent under the age of 30 and, after becoming the only agency in the world to win the YoungGuns agency of the year twice in 2001 and 2008, Colenso BBDO was named as the most awarded agency of the decade by the organisation in 2010. And it’s obviously no fluke, because it’s also been awarded the 2012 agency of the year prize after winning four bullets in total—one gold, two silvers and a bronze—with Contagion the only other Kiwi agency to take home a prize after winning bronze.

Auckland Philharmonia and Colenso take a leaf out of the modern musical playbook
By

In a world where The Ridges get their own TV show, celebrities get the headlines and fans froth at the mouth over One Direction or Justin Bieber, it’s not surprising there’s a belief that the lowest-common denominator is on the warpath. It certainly makes things tough for some of the more high-brow pursuits, but rather than simply take the government’s funding decision on the chin, the Auckland Philharmonia Orchestra and Colenso BBDO have released a charity single called ‘Soundtrack to Auckland’ to help rally support for its cause from Aucklanders.

Cadbury keeps the Olympic glass half full with couch-based emotional journey
By

Cadbury’s been fairly busy lately. It recently launched a new global campaign out of Saatchi & Saatchi Sydney called Joyville and it has followed up the ” class=”oembed” >”>first spot (hmmm, where have we seen the ‘lots of funny looking people making chocolate in a secretive factory’ thing before?) with a TVC currently running in Australia announcing the arrival of its new ” class=”oembed” >”>Marvellous Creations bar. But, closer to home, as part of its sponsorship of the New Zealand Olympic Team, it has also launched an ad showing its support for the athletes—and the supporters of those athletes.

Suits off, grooves on: Hallensteins and Mojo raunch it up with new campaign
By

Hallensteins has been trying valiantly to add some coolness to the brand in recent years. And, if the much improved first half results for parent company Hallenstein Glasson are anything to go by, that approach is working. But its latest ad, The Power of the Suit, which was made by Publicis Mojo and directed by new Thick as Thieves recruit Jae Morrison, is easily its edgiest yet.
