Creative Execution

TV and print launched the campaign, reminding the girls to put themselves first and get together with the girls. The final tie in the campaign was the proclamation of an annual National Girls Night Out, where all the women of New Zealand were encouraged to have a night out with their favourite ladies. To celebrate that night we hijacked the Sunday Star Times ‘About Town’ social pages, but staying true to our campaign, we only showed the boys left at home.

Insights, Strategy and the Idea

Men in New Zealand have on average three times as many night’s out as their girlfriends. We wanted to lift a curtain on this dirty little secret and get the girls to start putting themselves first. Welcoming in a new world for New Zealand woman, one where they would come first. We did this by celebrating the ‘The Girl’s Night Out’. Creating a campaign that turns the tables on the battle of the sexes; using a fundamental human truth about guys vs. girls by showing that as much as guys hate to admit it, they’re a little bit hopeless when their loved one leaves them to their own devices, even for just a night.
