AUCKLAND, Today: To announce the arrival of two new generation Mazda SUVs – the CX-60 and CX-90 – Mazda NZ says it is “driving home the full gamut of human emotions in the new brand platform”.
Mazda NZ marketing GM General Manager Terrianne Brown said: “You get more in a Mazda is unashamedly proud to explore desire and triumphant happiness right through to jealousy and righteous anger in order to tell Kiwis about the many great reasons why they should want a Mazda.”
Directed by Derin Seale at Finch, the campaign films will be supported by OOH, print, digital and social. The work will continue to launch other Mazda models over the coming years.
“You get more in a Mazda is literally true,” Brown said.
“The brand platform is the first work to launch from The Monkeys Aotearoa after winning Mazda NZ in March 2023.”
“You get more features, better craftsmanship, design and a market-leading service plan. But it’s also emotionally compelling. We’ve had a lot of fun bringing honest emotions to life and charting a course different from the typical car ad.”
The Monkeys Aotearoa chief creative officer Damon Stapelton said: “Jealous glances from your neighbours, respect from your friends and the excitement you feel when you’re behind the wheel are all heightened and explored to get Mazda top of mind with Kiwis keen to make a smart choice and to justify that decision with their friends.”
The brand platform is the first work to launch from The Monkeys Aotearoa after winning Mazda New Zealand in March 2023.

About The Monkeys Aotearoa
The Monkeys, part of Accenture Song, create provocative ideas that live within advertising, entertainment and technology. They’ve been called an ad agency, a collective, a branded content company, the business model of the future and a bunch of bloody dreamers. Truth is, they’re a bit of each.
