The Most Epic Safety Video Ever Made manages to promote the airline, New Zealand as a tourism destination and the upcoming third instalment of the Hobbit trilogy, in a four-and-a-half minute clip to be released on Boxing Day, reports B&T Today. 

DDB has created a new brand campaign featuring a 45sec TVC following a typical DIY Kiwi as he uses his STIHL SHOP tools in his backyard, his own ‘land of opportunity’.

DDB revisited the original casting tapes of Bruce Lee and Seth Rogan for an extension to Sky TV’s Come With Us brand campaign. Now they’ve tapped Breaking Bad star Aaron Paul.
