Our blog provides updates on projects we're working on as well as our take on other goings on in the world. We also regularly add more detailed case studies to the site and of course you can find out more about our people and how to get in touch.
NEW SYMBIO YOGHURT
We’ve just launched a nationwide sampling campaign for new Symbio™ Probalance Yoghurt. Currently in supermarkets all over the country we also have a funky mall activation kicking off shortly. Symbio™ Probalance is available in 4 x 150g and 500g tub portions in four delicious flavours: Mixed Berry, Passionfruit, Natural Unsweetened and Vanilla Bean. Check out the website for all the product info, including the benefits of the 5 billion probiotics in every serve!
TASTY CALIFORNIANS
Shoppers in Christchurch, Blenheim, Dunedin and Queenstown got a taste of some juicy Californians last week with our crew promoting the new VBZ and Sunview 500g mixed grape punnets for Turners and Growers. The activity is generating great sales and our staff are enjoying promoting a nice healthy product. Check out the pics of our Dunedin crew in action!

FUN WITH FRUIT…
…of a perfectly clean kind was had in Palmerston North last week at the Foodstuffs Expo. Along with sampling a wide range of fruit, our Turners and Growers team engaged attendees with fun games that offered “funny money” for use in an auction.

NAKED PANDA ARENA OF GLORY
University campuses around NZ are getting a taste of the crazy Japanese game show genre as our Naked Panda team travel the country in August. From giant rubber bands that just happen to fit nicely under a student snout to panda helmets with built in buckets, sometimes it is really hard not to love our job!

WELCOME TO JO AND ANNA
We’ve had the pleasure of welcoming two great new additions to our team in recent weeks. Account Director Jo Bennett (left) arrives after a long and successful stint at DDB’s events, experiential and PR arm Mango, while Account Manager Anna Kemp (right) made the move from ACP Media. It already feels like they’ve both been part of the team for years, in the best possible way, and we know all the clients lucky enough to work with them will be very pleased.
KEEP WALKING…
It’s hard when there are deals this good in duty free! Just spend $99 on your favourite Johnnie Walker and get a free travel bag and this isn’t a cheap and nasty freebie, it’s almost worth buying a budget ticket to Australia for! Have a chat to our team at Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch Airports to find out more and have a wee dram on the spot.

MOUNTAIN DEW SKATE PINBALL IS HERE!

After four weeks of building, painting, wiring and testing, the world’s first fully functioning, skate pinball machine has launched and it’s open to the public to ride, for free! The park is open every day until June 26 at 2 Hickory Ave, Henderson in Auckland and our team will be dispensing the three new Dew flavours to everyone who comes along. Check out opening times and all the details here.
SMIRNOFF ESPRESSO, MMMMM
It’s new, pretty damn tasty and it’s flying out the door at DFS at the moment at 2 for $59. Our team are introducing travelers to the joys of coffee flavoured vodka, apparently it’s particularly good with Cola!

MIKE BANCROFT JOINS THE DEW TEAM
We’ve just added ginger ninja, awesome skateboarder and ex-NZ air guitar champion Mike Bancroft to the Mountain Dew team. Mike joins fellow skateboarder Brett Band, wakeboarder Brad Smeele, snowboarders Christy Prior and Shelly Gotlieb, and freestyle BMX’er Haimona Ngata on the Dew team. You can see what they’re up to on the NZ Mountain Dew facebook page that we run, 20,000 likes and counting!

HOP TO IT
Those who catch buses in Auckland regularly will know the pain of their bus being stopped processing boarding passengers for as much time as they are actually driving. Wellingtonians haven’t had this problem since the launch of Snapper cards with their simple tag-on tag-off process some time ago and now it’s Auckland’s turn with Auckland Transport’s new HOP card. HOP cards with the Snapper logo can also be used for purchases at a rapidly growing number of retailers around Auckland. We have staff out educating the public and retailers about the new system and will soon be assisting tens of thousands of commuters to swap their old Go Rider cards for the fancy new HOP cards.
