Topic: That Kiwi attitude!

Well worth a look - a campaign to bring back the 'hard' in Kiwis?
Hmmm, just tried to upload the link and found I can't do that until I've done 15 posts!
So, rather than waste everyone's time by having me write 15 inane posts, try this: Rock and Hardplace
This is harmless Kiwi humour
Cheers

I'm gonna edit your post and make it into a URL.. nice site.

Thanks Kal - I thought it'd make some of the expat kiwis smile. I saw the link on another site and it tickled me.

And thank you for the link...I had to put that rule in to stop spammers. I will always URL-ise worthy links.

Hi there,
There's another video clip appeared on that Rock & Hardplace site, based upon what the two Kiwi characters do to stop getting bored.
I notice that one visitor to the site thinks it's part of a campaign for the AB's as they prepare for the World Cup next year - anyone else know more about this?

Ok

my "hard" name is TITAN STONE

Titan sounds like something my husband wouldn't mind but I've given him 2 kids the "hard" way so that's not going to happen!

Seems this is the work of an ad agency...

Welcome to the TOUCH/CAST site. We're New Zealand's first specialized experiential marketing (XM) agency.

Expect to see more on a TV screen and bus shelter near you

Hi Sarah K,
Interesting, but I still don't get it.

Anyway, campaign or not,there's another clip appeared on You Tube.

Who cares what its about, the clips are kinda funny

woops.
Ive just checked the rock and hardplace site and the new clip is there now.Theyre talking about injuries.
Might be easier to go to Rock and Hardplace - Rock and Hard Place's movie clips as before.
all the other clips are on that site.

Yet another clip from our Kiwi heroes.
I'm still none the wiser about what these guys are about, but its kinda funny.....

Guys it's viral marketing. They want you talking about it, blogging about it, linking to it. It builds the site up in Google and then when they're ready to reveal the product (even if it's the All Blacks, they're a product these days) it has an instant, pre-developed audience.

So, what do they do when a 'Mountain Lion'creeps up on them?

This clip doesn't seem to be on their website yet, but you can download the rest of their videos from that site if you want.

So, if this is a campaign, they're taking their time to get to the point! Unless they're all cryptic clues, anyway here's another clip.
All about pig hunting?

Beats me.

So, SarahK was right, it was an ad campaign after all, but not for the All Blacks!

then go to dubdubdubDOTgethardDOTcoDOTnz to see that it was all a build up to the launch of a new Ute!

Oh well, but at least the madness is over.

That's tragic

but who caught the new bell tea ad? talking about the people over time who have visited the family bach etc - and then talks about how all these people have been brought together over a cup of friggin tea.

The ad agencies in NZ must have some talent - what on earth are they doing with it?
