Screen Shot 2014-10-24 at 6.54.44 am.jpgDDB has created a new brand campaign for STIHL Shop which puts the focus on its customers, those people who take pride in their piece of New Zealand.

The 45″ TVC follows a typical DIY Kiwi as he uses his STIHL Shop tools in his backyard, his own ‘land of opportunity’.

Says Scott Wallace, group business director, DDB: “‘Love your Land’ is the new theme for STIHL Shop and will be the marketing platform for the next two years. This spot is designed to launch the new brand line and channels the STIHL Shop customer, who isn’t just a handyman, but a landscaper, a designer, a builder, a creator. They are the Lion King of their backyard – their Prideland.”

Says Lorrigan, DDB creative director, who got his own hands dirty during production: “We shot a man in the forest, and everyone is happy. Usually you go to jail for that”.
