Saatchi & Saatchi NZ has created a suite of three new 15 second tvcs for Toyota Hilux – uniquely droll Kiwi ads which have drawn on the ‘less is more’ communication style of a fair few of its drivers – to add to the launch campaign from October.
In a clear nod to the new-look Toyota Hilux, the starring duo of mates return to admire, quietly, the updated version of their beloved ute, all played out in three distinct everyday settings.
Saattchi CD Corey Chalmers said: “Hilux has a fresh new look for 2018. We’re continuing to celebrate its understated toughness and rugged good looks in the best way we know how – through the eyes of our two Kiwi guys, who are big on emotion, but not so big on bringing the chat.”
“Classic male Kiwi stoicism is an entertaining idea to play with. I had a lot of fun creating more quiet adventures for the Hilux Boys.”
“Created in partnership with Goodoil Films, the somewhat mundane adventures of the duo are perfectly captured to continue the beloved storyline.”
Good Oil director Fiona McGee said: “Classic male Kiwi stoicism is an entertaining idea to play with. I definitely had a lot of fun creating more quiet adventures for the Hilux Boys.
“Enough said!”
First manufactured in 1968, the Hilux benchmark has been raised again with a more aggressive yet appealing style, and build on the long-standing Hilux attributes of being tough and unbreakable.
