Television

A look at some quirky retro television adverts for New Zealand meat products.

What makes a good jingle? Is it more than just ‘catchy and clever’? Maybe instantly memorable, inane or frustrating.

We wanted to take a look at some advertising jingles that, even in a small way, have soundtracked parts of our lives.

Television has captured the life and culture of New Zealand in a way few other media have.

Part of a wider “Different Faces” series, ads promote Gregg’s Coffee, which present an idyllic picture of a NZ, characterised by racial and generational diversity.

Happy new year. Ngā mihi o te tau hou. We hope you are having a summer full of colour!

To say that this contemporary dance-theatre work was ground breaking in terms of content and subject matter is an understatement.
