AUCKLAND, Today: dentsu NZ has helped Pizza Hut to launch a distinctive new brand platform, after winning the creative business in a successful pitch. The incumbents were Stanley St (brand) and 99 (retail).
The platform is fronted by The Yumpire, Pizza Hut’s new brand ambassador (“the arbiter of taste, the decider of deliciousness, and the champion of every Kiwi taste bud out there”).
The new work kicks off on TV, digital, social, and in-store, and was made in collaboration with director James Solomon via Fish, music and sound via Franklin Rd, with photographer Yuki Sato via IDC, and PHD Media.
