Buy Kiwi Made says Driver Robot

New Zealand’s Ministry of Economic Development has launched a TV advertisement featuring NZ media star Oliver Driver to promote the Buy Kiwi Made campaign.

Buy Kiwi Made Robot

Driver appears as the head of a robot in the middle of assembly. “There are plenty of things in good old Aotearoa that we’ve got to be proud of. But frankly we do go on about them a bit. But those boats. Some clever Kiwis actually made the boats. And boats aren’t all we’re good at making. There are super clever people in New Zealand who make all sorts of neat stuff. You’d be surprised. Some stuff you’d never see because it goes straight off overseas. But there are plenty of brilliant Kiwi made goods that just go by truck to your local shops. (Careful guys!) And because we make them here we’re making jobs. And we’re making money. All we have to do is make an effort. If you buy Kiwi we’ve got it made!”
