LOS ANGELES, Tuesday: “When you’re with the right people, it shows,” writes Mirimar LA ECD Nick Morrissey after judging TBWA NZ and Good Oil’s Southern Cross Sweet Caroline as the second-best TV ad in the world last week, via the Best Ads On TV.
“That’s the message behind this film for Southern Cross, a leading New Zealand health insurer that puts people over profit,” Morrissey says.
“The story follows the main character, Caroline, as she leads a crew of construction workers. She is the glue that holds the crew together and earns their respect.
“This is great, authentic storytelling. It’s the kind of spot where if the performances don’t feel authentic, it fails hard.
“But this is lovely. And a nice line at the end to thread the needle with the brand.”
