In a new video to increase their ranks, the New Zealand Police takes the art of recruiting to a whole new level.
To make the film, Ogilvy and the NZ Police have teamed up to make this fast-paced recruitment video that highlights the wide diversity of New Zealanders. With the campaign message asking the question: “How do you choose a singular spokesperson when you’re trying to talk to everyone? You don’t.”
The film, created by Ogilvy and directed by Damian Shatford from The Sweet Shop, features over 70 actual cops along with The Police band, Police dogs and cats, Eagle helicopter, the AOS, William Waiirua, Black Ferns and the police commissioner Mike Bush.
“We believe this video celebrates the kind of recruits New Zealand Police want on their team – ones who bring their own unique and diverse qualities, skills and quirks to the job,” said Regan Grafton, executive creative director, Ogilvy NZ
