With Christmas around the corner, New World and DDB Group Aotearoa are getting into the festive spirit with a campaign that focuses on fun, food and family.
To get the audience in the festive mood, DDB Group has given the iconic Christmas track ‘Carol of the bells’ a magical New World spin.
The campaign follows a family in their kitchen preparing their Christmas feast to a dynamic tune, helping showcase the range of quality food options New World provides, delivering a compelling value message and showcasing the free Spiegelau Glass promotion to add to the Christmas dining table.
“After a challenging year, we wanted to put a smile on Kiwi faces for Christmas. Remixing a catchy Christmas classic into a whimsical tune to encourage people to enjoy each other’s company around some good food,” says DDB Aotearoa Creative Director, Courtney Dow.
The campaign is an acknowledgement that the Christmas season can be expensive and this year customers are under more financial pressure than ever.
Sarah Austin, Marketing Manager New World Retail and Shopper, says among the many challenges around Christmas there can be tension around wanting Christmas to be special.
“This campaign is opportunity to address this tension, with New World helping to provide everything people need for a Christmas that is both special and affordable this year,” says Sarah Austin, Marketing Manager New World Retail and Shopper.
“This holiday season, we wanted to give shoppers the confidence to do their full Christmas shop at New World – knowing that people prefer to keep things simple and get everything they need at one place, while avoiding those unnecessary purchases,” she says.
The campaign is live across TV, cinema, outdoor, digital/web, social media and radio.
