Three brand-new ads have surged straight to the top this month – on debut! Lotto’s dramatic new spot Imagine has really moved the audiences, who have sent it directly to No 1.
Close behind are Tower and Air NZ. These three have displaced former favourites Piggy Sue, Ritchie McCaw, and My BP story.
Sadly, NZ Post, KFC and DB Export have dropped out of sight.
