[...] Uma coisa, no entanto, me incomodou nesta campanha. Porquinhos são um ícone forte de poupança/ economia de dinheiro mas a referência visual destes da campanha da BBH remetem diretamente ao trabalho feito em 2006 pela Y&R da Nova Zelândia para o BNZ. Confiram aqui. [...]

My grandaughter just loves this piggy add,
whenever she hears it she comes running.
Now its saved on our computer,so she can hear it whenever she likes.
At 2 yrs old it puts a smile on her face every time & if shes smiling,so are we.
Thanks for doing a brilliant add.
Kind Regards
Our grandaughter,Sophie

Was kinda bad timing for the BNZ as it co-incided with their machines being skimmed which was all over the news. In fact, the ad would often play during the news just after the skimming had been reported. Any publicity is good I guess….

Personally it sends me all the wrong messages and I can’t stand it. Illogically it makes me think of bank charges & fees supporting the piggies in their luxury. Which makes me think of bank fees, which is a big turn off.

Still it might be better than a recent campaign with used The Verve’s “Bittersweet Symphony” as the background music. I kept thinking of the opening lyrics:

“‘Cause it’s a bittersweet symphony, this life
Trying to make ends meet
You’re a slave to money then you die”

Laughed every time the ad came on. Not sure that was their intent though.
