Sugar&Partners has sacked frontman Dan Carter from its new campaign for Daikin heat pumps and air-con.
The agency says it aims to cut through the predictable heat pump and air conditioning category norms with an “entertaining new direction for NZ and Australia”.
“Stepping away from Dan was a very conscious decision for us,” said S&P CD David Nash. “It was right two years ago when establishing our specialist credentials – but it’s time the brand stood on its own two feet and established its own voice and style.”
The commercials will run in New Zealand and adapted versions will also run in Australia.
Nash said the positioning of ‘Creating your favourite places’ speaks to the benefit-led approach the brand will be taking, rolling out campaign collateral through dealerships and media placements in NZ and Australia.
