New Zealand Jerky: advert-body-3 by North
- Location:
New Zealanders have a notoriously offbeat see see of humor, and a new campaign for New Zealand Jerky from Portland creative agency North brings some twisted Kiwi humor to the tagline “Serious Meat”— they tell beef jerky jokes to a cow.
New Zealand Jerky views itself as a healthier jerky option, as the first Non-GMO verified beef jerky sold in the US. In the social spots, New Zealand TV writer and standup comic celebrity Tim Batt tells dad-corny jokes to a deadpan cow to demonstrate just how serious New Zealand beef really is. Batt plays to his bovine audience knowing that the puns are so bad, they’re good.
The social spots are viewable now through the end of September on Facebook, Instagram and YouTube.
