AUCKLAND, Today: AA is marking its tenth straight Gold win for Readers Digest Quality Service in Roadside Assistance, rolling out a new campaign led by DOOH and radio. It builds on the ‘Membership with more’ platform starring Ray the bobblehead.
Being the first thought when someone’s car breaks down is a huge strength for AA. The campaign brings that to life using the standout stat that AA rescues a Kiwi driver every single minute.
AA Chief Marketing Officer Jenni Ryan says, “We are extremely proud our expert roadside team has been recognised once again for our quality service. This campaign celebrates the trust Kiwis have in the AA, resulting in us rescuing a Kiwi driver every minute, whether at the beach, the bach, or the back of beyond.”

Ryan continues, “It’s great to keep building on our Ray campaign platform, he has become an icon for AA Membership.”
Creative Partner Wayne Pick from Quantum Jump says, “Over 5 million rescues in the last 10 years alone, that’s a really big number. Too big to grapple. So we broke it down and discovered that the AA rescues a Kiwi every minute. How reassuring.”
Pick adds, “And that feeling of reassurance is brought to life by Ray – the AA’s cheerful, nodding dashboard bobblehead. Gold for Quality Service in Roadside Assistance for 10 years running – that’s a big thumbs-up from Kiwis!”
The campaign appears across DOOH, radio, TikTok, TVNZ+ Ad on Pause and Meta.
