From Kiwi bloke to Instant Dancing Sensation

It's raining ads worldwide... fat, juicy big-budget TVCs. eg. Nike's Write the Future; Adidas Celebrate Originality; Dulux Walls, Samsung's 3D TV.

Closer to NZ, it's been Cadbury's Dancing Cow; Coruba Rum's slick Green Flash tvc; ANZ's funny as 'We live in your World" series; suave CEOs fronting up to the camera armed with signs (Rob Fyfe, Air NZ) and a fly-fishing rod (Paul Reynolds, Telecom) and even a 3D ad for BMW Mini.

This ad is fun from the get-go. Click on the image to view the ad.

But the ad that caught my fancy was the new Instant Kiwi ad where a bloke breaks into a mad jig on winning a lottery. With so much going on in the ad, it's Broadway gone Bollywood - but in a good way. A real visual feast! And the tagline It can all change in an instant has a catchy ring to it.

Read what DDB ECD, Toby Talbot has to say about it on NBR's Ad blog.

While on Instant Kiwi, here's a rewind back to classic ads from 80s & 90s.
