This year has indeed been a great one for Colenso BBDO. Followed by their multiple Gold and a Silver Effie for their superb campaign ‘Friendvertising‘, the New Zealand creative agency went on to win yet another Gold, Silver and Bronze Effie for their Campaign ‘Tally’.

Colenso BBDO, together with media agency PHD Media Auckland, grabbed a Gold Effie with Tally under the category of Branded Utility, a Silver Effie for the category of Financial Products & Services, and a Bronze for the Brand Experience – Services category.

Campaign Synopsis

The combined value of possessions is something busy Kiwis can underestimate. And while we tend to put big-ticket items, like house values and cars, at the forefront of our minds – it’s surprising just how fast the little things can add up.

In 2019, the average New Zealand household had over $100,000 worth of items in it.1  This count includes everything from clothes to coffee tables, ovens to entertainment systems and beyond. Over $20,000 worth could be found in the home’s wardrobe.(1)

Yet still, State’s research shows more than half of New Zealanders believe they don’t have enough items to be worth insuring.(2)

Working with Colenso BBDO, State created a simple, visual calculator to help time-poor Kiwis get a better idea of how much their possessions are worth.

Tally lets you quickly add items from a list of 25 popular categories, adjust average values based on what you own, and add custom items – like treasured family heirlooms or works of art.

State Marketing Manager, Gabrielle Markwick-Brown said to Adobo Magazine, “Kiwis are pretty on to it when it comes to insuring big, one-off items, like cars and houses, but far too many of us are underestimating the total value of our belongings. ‘Tally’ aims to educate Kiwis on how much – and how quickly – the little things add up.” 

Tally is free of insurance jargon, easy to use and, with the touch of a button, people can get a good idea of just how much they own.

Maria Devereux, Executive Creative Director at Colenso BBDO said to Adobo Magazine, “State likes to make things simple and easy for their “too busy” customers and Tally is just that. We think people are going to be surprised at the total value of their belongings and hopefully compelled to make sure they’re protected at the end of the day.”

After 20 years of evolving technology, shifting market trends, and adapting to changing consumer behaviour, the media landscape has nearly reached saturation.

We’ve optimised to the fullest, providing advertisers with abundant choices across technology, platforms, data-driven marketing, CTV, OTTDOOHinfluencer marketing, retail, etc.

Media specialists have diversified, but with more options comes the challenge of maintaining income growth. The industry is expanding, but revenue isn’t keeping pace.

Now, we’re at a TURNING POINT: time to explore and harness new sustainable revenue streams. While GroupM forecasts a 7.8% global ad revenue growth in 2024, challenges like antitrust regulation, AI and copyright issues, and platform bans persist.  

Collaboration is keypartnerships that thrive on synergy, shared values, and aligned goals are becoming increasingly essential.

Hence, the Malaysian Media Conference, in its 20th year, has assembled the partners and players under one roof on October 25 for a day of learning, sharing, and exploring.
