AA Smartfuel creates ‘Radio Conversations’ in newly launched campaign via Rainger & Rolfe

Rainger & Rolfe has launched a new radio campaign for AA Smartfuel.

Says Ian Sutcliffe, director, AA Smartfuel: “Radio has always been the cheeky medium – but it’s also massively under-rated when it comes to educating and inspiring an audience.

“This is why we developed our Radio Conversations campaign with the team at Rainger & Rolfe. We also like how we can unpack a number of different messages into the market using variations of radio formats  – 60’s, 30’s, ad libs and station promos – and we’re running this new creative work across selected stations at NZME and MediaWorks.”

Says Ant Rainger of Rainger & Rolfe: “For us creatively, we love radio, always have – say. Radio is great … it allows us to write great scripts and extend the humour and lightness of touch that the AA Smartfuel brand has always been about. Hugh Walsh helped us develop and produce these outstanding ‘radio conversations’ and already we’re hearing people are noticing the work and talking about it.”

Adds Sutcliffe: “What’s great from an AA Smartfuel perspective is that our key messages around significant fuel discounts are connecting with motorists. Yes fuel prices are higher than ever but we actually have a customer base that is finding huge savings. Frequently our customers are saving $300-$400 a year and we have many cardholders whose savings to date are in the thousands. To give you an idea in real terms, every month approximately 60,000 kiwis are saving 50c a litre or more off their fuel. Right now AA Smartfuel is the only dedicated fuel savings programme in New Zealand that offers significant fuel discounts. It’s probably why our numbers have been going through the roof.”
