Greg Page’s Kiwibank Indepen-dance – surely one of the weirdest ads of the year – is enjoying a good run at the top of the Top 10, back in November at No 1 again. But the big event in November was the return (again) of a mighty NZ classic – Kevin Denholm’s Mitre 10 Sandpit, created in 2008!
Elsewhere on our chart, it’s wall-to-wall old favourites – no debuts this month.
IN THEIR OWN WORDS

2. Hyundai Tucson Get Lost
- “I find the young girl fits what she does in the ad, and the concept of getting lost is great.”
- “It’s cute and funny.”
- “Brilliant Ad, invite you to explore, travel and its very fresh and meaningful.”
- “Very catchy & the young lady is very good.”
