Consumer Marketing

Consumer marketing - including advertising, promotions and online marketing work - is the most visible part of the 100% Pure New Zealand campaign. It carries the 100% Pure New Zealand brand, it shows the images familiar to those who know the campaign and it is one of the easiest aspects of the campaign to control.

Section Highlights

Over the years Tourism New Zealand television commercials and print advertisements have appeared in New Zealand's key tourism markets around the world. Advertising is designed to speak to a certain type of traveller, the kind that will get the most out of a New Zealand holiday: who enjoys interacting with our people, landscapes and culture and learning about the stories that link these elements together.

Advertising was traditionally focused on print, television, cinema and billboard advertising, but things have changed in the last few years. New technology and an increasingly fragmented media environment have given us the opportunity to put 100% Pure New Zealand in front of our target audience wherever they are and whatever they might be doing in their daily lives.

This has meant embracing new media such as mobile technology, social media and online advertising, and showing television commercials on digital screens in office buildings, train stations, shopping centres, on the street and even in the backseats of taxis.

The commercials have evolved over time to keep the brand fresh and appealing to consumers. In the last few years new iterations of the campaign have been designed to speak to specific groups of consumers within our target market, with messages targeted to different countries as well as sectors such as the 'visiting friends and relatives' market and backpackers.

But the central message remains the same: come to New Zealand and you will experience the special combination of landscape, people, culture and activities that create a uniquely New Zealand experience. A 100% Pure New Zealand experience.
