Toyota New Zealand has refreshed its enduring brand platform Believe in a likeable new campaign that celebrates Toyota’s belief in growing and supporting the best of Kiwi life.
Featuring an optimistic young girl named Billie and her loving Grandad, each spot gently brings to life Toyota’s core brand beliefs, while also highlighting Toyota’s commitment to New Zealand through its sponsorships and community commitments.
Andrew Davis, Toyota GM of used vehicles & marketing, said: “We launched our Believe branding in 2009 and it has provided a great vehicle for expressing our organisation’s values to stakeholders and customers.
“As our branding matures, we have been able to express these values through our actions and partnerships,” he said. “The latest of these is our new campaign which has further evolved Believe to be more future thinking – and the playful dynamic between Billie and her Grandad provides the perfect environment.”
Corey Chalmers, Joint ECD of Saatchi & Saatchi, said: “We were asked to bring the Believe principles to life in a typically Toyota way – through character, story, charm and magic moments. The new campaign is designed to show how Toyota’s beliefs are reflected in everyday Kiwi life, through the endearing characters of Billie and Grandad.
Thanks, Kev!
“It was a joy to bring to life thanks to Kevin Denholm who has directed many Toyota campaigns over the years.”
The campaign launched on Sunday night with further instalments to follow over the next couple of months.
