Auckland – 4 October 2021 – Kirsty Cameron was named as the winner of the TVNZ 1’s Seven Sharp competition, ‘Kiwis Take a Break’, for their interpretation of AA Insurance’s Dinosaur vs Unicorn television commercial.
The competition, which ran late last month, asked Kiwis to recreate one of three iconic TV commercials; AA Insurance’s Dinosaur vs Unicorn, Toyota’s Unbreakable Bond, and PAK‘nSAVE’s Stickman. The winning entries were aired on Seven Sharp on Friday 1 October.
“It's satisfying when a TV commercial for insurance resonates with the public, so we were delighted an AA Insurance TVC was one of the options Kiwis had the opportunity to remake in this competition,” says Melodie Vickars, Head of Brand and Marketing for AA Insurance.
“While it’s important for us to show how important insurance is to everyday Kiwi lives, this competition highlights that something financially important can also be fun, and Kirsty’s entry, with help from her two boys, is exactly that.
“We were impressed with her 15 second winning entry – it was well thought out and executed, and showed a sense of humour. Congratulations Kirsty!”
