Fail – any ads that have actors pretending to be non-actors, telling us supposedly non-fictional tales of their travels that are clearly scripted, just grates with me!
Agree with first response above – too contrived
Very, very disappointing, comes across so fake. They’ve taken a brilliant campaign and made it appalling.
The scenery is still amazing though – they would have been better off not having the V/O.
This extension has lost a key component of the more recent phases of this, to date, brilliantly conceived and extended campaign of more than a decade. Where is the fun, friendly rivalry, of the (very real) Kiwi presenters, taking the piss out of our Aussie audience? Unfortunately, it is now just another well-shot series of commercials in another beautiful destination – it’s lost the unique come-on of the Kiwis themselves.
It’s hard to follow up a campaign as good as the original 100% NZ one but this certainly isn’t it.
C’mon Kiwis, this looks like a satire of the real one -no class, no subtlety, no ingenuity.
It’s as bad as the Tourism Australia crap.
My favorite will always be the Aussie version of the original pure campaign …

Totally agree with all of you. First thought when I looked at these was ‘cheese’.
Oh dear…..almost makes the ‘Where the bloody hell are ya’ campaign look good!
That’s it, come and take my sheep back, I quit as a Kiwi. If this is all the place has to offer now I’m not going back.
Now what’s the adress of the Australian Citizenship web site?
that was a shame, they were doing so well
Ok….that is incredibly bad……amazing that KB signed off on these. They like look bad informercials from the 90’s. Thank you very much Tourism NZ for killing any positive feeling that people had for the 100% pure ads – these are not an extention of that campaign. More of a total hatchet job!
This is unreal, how could ex Saatchi&Saatchi TVC ad men make such none meaning fluff…. i mean: Skimming across ribbons of water, in mins it had blown every cobweb out of my head……. this is a shame…. i hope you can hold your heads high….
100% Pure Dud! I was actually in the market considering a holiday to New Zealand up against a holiday to Bali as my first ever international trip. New Zealand had a lot of things going in its favour; a good exchange rate for Aussie tourists, cheap flights from Melbourne where I live and a unique Maori culture. I’m a 33 year old single male and there was nothing in your ads that appealed to me at all and nothing of what I just mentioned earlier as New Zealand’s selling points were covered. These ads ostracize a large portion of the male market and explain why so many of my friends who do travel go to places like London, Canada or Asia instead.
Sorry guys. Unless you can come up with a much better proposition than that lame effort I might as well just go ahead and book Bali now.
i’m suprised no ones done
100% Pure Ewe
too soon?
I think they meant 100% pure Ewe?
