Stickman’s ad lows with FCB and PHD

AUCKLAND, Thursday: In a budget-friendly move, Stickman partners with FCB and PHD, using iconic brands’ backgrounds for PAK’nSAVE’s Christmas Super Deals, proving his advertising savvy.

Stickman, New Zealand’s low-cost supermarket mascot, thrives on cost-cutting strategies. This Christmas, he borrows backgrounds from brands like Mercury and JB Hi-Fi for PAK’nSAVE.

Stickman’s unconventional Christmas campaign is a testament to his resourcefulness. Brands like St Pierre’s and Nature’s Fresh generously lend their backgrounds for PAK’nSAVE’s Super Deals message.

FCB’s Peter Vegas and Leisa Wall admire Stickman’s innovative approach to cost savings. The yellow-themed collaboration extends from TV to street posters, capturing attention until December’s end.

Stickman’s takeover isn’t limited to TV; legendary brands allow him to share his Super Deals message on yellow street posters, blending seamlessly with the cityscape.
