Ogilvy & Mather New Zealand makes Holden Twitch in new spot directed by Luke Shanahan

HN2904_60_eye.jpgO&M New Zealand and Robber's Dog have created a local brand TVC for Holden.

Says Ogilvy executive creative director, Angus Hennah: "It felt right to inject some warmth and local charm back into the brand. The spot espouses the therapeutic benefits of getting away from it all in a real driver's car."

VIEW THE SPOT
Says Robber's Dog director Luke Shanahan: "Directing 'Twitch' was an absolute pleasure for me. It was one of those projects where all involved had total faith in the idea. That unity meant I got to make executional decisions based on good storytelling alone. I think that (unity) shows in the final spot."

um I didn't really get it .... I did like the track but the execution let it down somewhat. Also the hot girls at the spa made me think this is what cured his twitch - also why did they use the worst car in the range - all in all its not going to make people buy a Holden ......... having said that best work thats come out of Ogilvy since Jeremy left
