Air New Zealand brings Dave the goose to Buenos Aires
Air New Zealand has brought its favourite frequent flyer, Dave the goose, to Buenos Aires in the latest iteration of its ‘Better Way To Fly’ campaign.
The one-minute TVC spot features Dave the goose exploring Buenos Aries’ culture, food and wine.
In collaboration with True, Better Way To Fly South America also depicts Buenos Aeries as the city of romance as Dave finds a female friend to tango with.
“The way I look at marketing is, is it going to grab attention? That’s the first job.
“Secondly, is it well-branded? Does it communicate that this is from Air New Zealand rather than from somebody else? That doesn’t mean is there branding all over the place, but with the sound down could I work out this was from Air NZ?
“Thirdly, does it get the main point across clearly? As someone who has spent 20 years of my career as a marketer and a brand manager, those are the ways I look at an idea like this.”
