Problem
How could Best Foods leverage their sponsorship of the Warriors, during a pandemic, and while the team remains out of New Zealand?
Solution
We created a digital call to arms. A bespoke Haka was written and performed at Mt. Smart, the home of the warriors. The rousing words and passionate haka calls for courage and togetherness to those separated by lockdowns, across the country.
Results
This resulted in a highly engaging piece that got coverage and play in the New Zealand, Australian and international media.
