“A big thank you to ANZ for being such a brave and innovative partner; their team has worked tirelessly on this project with us and they’ve had huge faith in the vision and purpose for Mr Humfreez.”
Creating Mr Humfreez, was done with Wiktor Skoog, head of TBWA\Make, and the bio-design experts at the University of Waterloo in Canada – Mr Humfreez is essentially a smart device that can detect humidity and moisture inside a home. He’s like a cute ram made entirely of sustainable materials: wood, wool and ink.
TBWA NZ ceo Catherine Harris said, “Mr Humfreez is a magic piece of work and we are so proud of the team and our ANZ partners. Mr Humfreez delivered great results for ANZ and he is back this winter to help Kwis live in warmer, drier homes.”
