Children talk about ‘spew bags’ and ‘frantic toilet runs’ in Air NZ Mother’s Day ad
Air New Zealand has recruited young children to read a poem about all the times ‘Mothers really shine’ when onboard flights, in celebration of Mother’s Day this weekend.
Created by Host Sydney, the work is one of the first since Darren Spiller was appointed chief creative officer in January.
The ad shows young children talking about all the moments they drove their mothers crazy on flights, from using handbags as a ‘spew bag’, ‘frantic toilet runs’ and leaving ‘crotches splashed with wine.’
A backdrop for the children is filled with animated drawings which illustrate the stories each child talks about.
At the end of the piece, an Air New Zealand flight attendant joins the children to wish all mothers a Happy Mother’s Day.
