Turning slow icons into museum exhibits

EditorNews Make a Comment

The new Chorus campaign out of Contagion for Chorus aims to consign the most annoying slow-internet icons out to pasture. It targets consumers and SMEs that are getting access to fibre-optic broadband.

The Contagion campaign includes digital, radio, press, outdoor and social.

In the digital space, the ideas comes to life in banners and a space invader game where all the symbols of bad Internet are the target.

“Like floppy disks and modem dial up tones, slow Internet is becoming a distant memory for most New Zealanders as the rollout of better broadband puts these frustrations in their rightful place – the past,” said Contagion ECD Bridget Taylor.


Chorus head of marketing Karren Harker said Contagion has delivered against a complex brief that demanded true flexibility, regional relevance and media agility.

“The creative solution allows us to communicate with multiple audiences in a relevant and targeted way based on the broadband network available in their area,” Harker said. “It appeals to the very real desire for progress and having a better broadband experience now, while prompting New Zealanders to investigate their broadband options.”

Contagion managing director Dean Taylor said: “Chorus is responsible for building one of the world’s most ambitious fibre optic networks and it’s exciting to be a part of it. We’re thrilled to see all of our brand planning coming to life in this integrated campaign.”
