It’s always busy on the NESTEA account: we've made 3 major TV ads in just over a year and last week, Rob, Lolly, Adam and Andrew were in New Zealand shooting the third instalment. It’s an ad about a blossoming romance between a girl, an unusual guy and, of course, a bottle of Nestea. 

 During the intensive shoot days, inbetween exciting dramatic set ups, we've still found time to invent new games and generally keep our creative juices flowing.  

We've had the ‘throw the bottle into the chair cup holder’ game, then the more traditional ‘left-handed catch game with a punctured tennis ball’, a classic if ever there was one, then a game more rooted in nature, that, much to Lolly's annoyance, Rob surpassed himself in, called 'throw the acorn in the bin from 10 metres game'. A blinder.

 We also found time to entertain our client AJ to a game of tennis. (Only the best for our clients, eh?)

Taught by AJ: the invaluable skill of making bird-mating noises using fresh acorns

And Lolly caught his first ever fish, with AJ getting the prize for the biggest whopper (naturally).

While Adam illegally rode around the most powerful Honda scooter known to man. 

Rob and Loll bought some new shoes

All in all, a great shoot in a beautiful country, lots of hard work but lots of fun.

It's always sunny in a NESTEA world. 

Our new TV ad for Cravendale – starring Kermit the Frog and Pepe the King Prawn of Muppets fame – launches tonight during Corrie. Here it is:

 The background for the ad is a Cravendale partnership with the new Muppets film, (in cinemas this Friday), which will manifest itself through an on-pack promotion – collect 20 codes when you buy bottles of Cravendale and you can send away for a pretty cool Kermit backpack.

The partnership looks to tap into parents' affection for the Muppets Show and renewed interest from their kids with the launch of the film.
 
Here's account director Hanne getting to know some Muppets.
