Mazda New Zealand has launched a series of short films as part of a new campaign that it describes as “driving home the full gamut of human emotions in its new brand platform.” The campaign is announcing the arrival of two new generation Mazda SUVs – the CX-60 and CX-90.
Created by The Monkeys Aotearoa, part of Accenture Song, “You get more in a Mazda” features four campaign films directed by Derin Seale at FINCH, and they are all humorously well-written and each a good watch.
Mazda New Zealand General Manager – Marketing, Terrianne Brown, says: “You get more in a Mazda is literally true. You get more features, better craftsmanship, design and a market-leading service plan. But it’s also emotionally compelling. We’ve had a lot of fun bringing honest emotions to life and charting a course different from the typical car ad.”
The Monkeys Aotearoa Chief Creative Office, Damon Stapelton, added: “Jealous glances from your neighbours, respect from your friends and the excitement you feel when you’re behind the wheel are all heightened and explored to get Mazda top of mind with Kiwis keen to make a smart choice and to justify that decision with their friends.”
The brand platform is the first work to launch from The Monkeys Aotearoa after winning Mazda New Zealand in March 2023.
