In a world overflowing with data, our latest campaign for ANZ Aotearoa is built around what businesses need to know, but don’t yet. Every B2B campaign claims to have the secret to unlocking growth. So instead of talking about ANZ's insights, we made them an actual secret. To launch The Sauce by ANZ™, we took some of the most valuable data it can uncover and strategically redacted it. Each insight is tailored to different industries and regions across New Zealand, giving businesses a glimpse of the types of insights available to them through ANZ - and making this one of the most insightful campaigns in the country. To give business leaders an even more potent taste, we partnered with Culley's to create a bespoke range of hot sauces - packed with insights - for prospective customers. Because while many businesses have access to data, it's the combination of powerful insights and experienced ANZ Business Relationship Managers that helps turn information into confident business decisions.

The 2degrees SupportHER Line is now well and truly out in the world and having an impact. With 55% of girls telling us they feel more pressure when supporters are watching, and with girls dropping out of sport at twice the rate of boys, the words they hear on the sideline matter. So, we started with a simple question to girls across New Zealand – what do you actually want to hear from the sideline? – and this became a real boundary on real fields. From grassroots sport to the Black Ferns v Wallaroos test at Go Media Stadium, The SupportHER Line has been turning one of sport’s most familiar conventions into a reminder for everyone standing on the other side of it. An example of Disruption in its simplest form: taking something that was already there (the boundary line on sports fields and courts) and giving it another job. Proud to see this one leave the screen and make its way onto the sidelines for 2degrees SupportHER Club. 💙 Shane Catherine Daniel Davison - Ashley Wilding Simon Michael Jodie Hari Eleisha Brianna Nick Zac Dave Anna Nick Eva OMD New Zealand Supernormal
