AUCKLAND, Thursday: NZ sausage-maker Hellers has launched a new campaign via YoungShand, the first since the agency picked up the business in August following a competitive pitch.
Hellers ceo Christine Cash said: “YoungShand delivered on the partnership approach and strategic thinking we were looking for during the process, and ultimately that’s what secured them the business.
“Hellers is an iconic NZ brand, and we needed our new campaign to step up the affinity for the brand as well as communicate our broad range of products.
“YS has absolutely delivered on our objectives with the first campaign.”
The new campaign, There’s a Snag, which launched a fortnight ago, sees the welcome return of comedian Leigh Hart, who’s synonymous with the Hellers brand.
“Hellers is now seen in a new light while still bringing the laughs and meat puns Kiwis have grown to love,” Cash said.
“Leigh is sure to have Kiwis stocking up their fridges in preparation for any unforeseen snags.”
YoungShand client service director Emma Dalton said: “We’re thrilled to announce this new partnership and share what we’ve been working on over the last few months with Christine, Brydon and the team at Hellers.
YoungShand CD Scott Maddox said: “It’s been great to work alongside the Hellers team to refresh and reimagine this iconic Kiwi brand.
“Leigh is sure to have Kiwis stocking up their fridges in preparation for any unforeseen snags.”
