Vodafone puffs up its chess

EditorTVCs, News Make a Comment

FCB client Vodafone changed creative direction with the introduction of ulta-cute porcine character Piggy Sue, whose heartfelt story relayed the point that ‘life’s better together’.

Now, the red telco has built on its Piggy Sue positioning with a new ad that shows the value of mobile technology in keeping people connected – via a brief story about a grandfather playing a game of chess with his grandson.

“Today, more and more Kiwis are enjoying smart devices but many of them know they aren’t using them to their full potential,” said Vodafone head of brand and consumer communications Liz Wilson.

“That’s why  Vodafone have Ninjas – trained masters of tech. Found in-store and online, they’re ready to help with all those curly tech questions or simple tips so customers can get the most out of their technology. After all, life’s better connected.”

Although there are no cute piglets in the new spot, the ‘life’s better together’ positioning is still clearly represented in the new ads.
