Golden Night at AXIS for Saatchi & Saatchi NZ

Campaigns for Tui beer, NZ Defence Force and L&P pick up a grand total of 15 awards.

Auckland - Saatchi & Saatchi New Zealand had a stellar evening at the Axis Awards in Auckland last week, winning a total of five Golds, two Silvers, seven Bronzes and a Grand Prix.

The winning work included Tui ‘Catch a Million’, created in partnership with client DB Breweries (part of the Heineken Group) and Apollonation that turned cricket stadiums ‘Tui’ orange and created a new media channel. The ‘Force Fit’ mobile app for the New Zealand Defence Force developed with Roam Creative that helped new recruits as well as regular New Zealanders reach their fitness goals. And the ‘wearable’ billboards for client L&P made from towels and jandals to help kiwis hold on to summer.

Saatchi & Saatchi NZ CEO Nicky Bell said: "Each of our Axis wins is a fantastic example of close collaboration with our clients and their partner agencies to create bold, genuinely shareable and effective ideas. We couldn't be prouder of the recognition our teams received for their hard work last night.”
