Zespri asks you to “Say Yes to Possibilities” via new dentsu International Hong Kong campaign
After one of Hong Kong’s most successful Olympics Game in 2021 the country has paid considerably more attention to local sports’ development. In the lead up to the East Asian Football Championship, Zespri, the world’s largest marketer of kiwifruit and advocate of active lifestyles, partnered with dentsu International Hong Kong to remind Hong Kong to continue supporting local sports talents and give a strong boost to the Hong Kong soccer team.
The campaign features rising soccer star, Matthew Or and Sarika Choy, the local celebrity to co-host and encourages everyone to say yes to challenges and pursue there dreams, under the platform “Say Yes to Possibilities”.
“I like soccer more than girls.” In their ad video, Matthew started off by proclaiming his passion that might have surprised Sarika a little. The fun duo exchanged their first impressions towards each other and dived deeper into Matthew’s “Say Yes” attitude including entering the World Cup with his team. Apart from chitchats, they also played small games and audiences can interact online by commenting creative quotes and sharing favourite video moments to win Matthew’s signed jerseys.
“I am a Hong Kong-New Zealand mix, born and raised here. I hope to make history with Hong Kong, and I believe with my teammates I can embrace and Say Yes to any stress and challenge on the way.” Matthew said.
“Rather than just being a delicious Zealander fruit on your plate, Zespri is an everyday companion to bring wellness, energy and joy.” said Roby Leung, Zespri International. “And just like Sarika and especially Matthew, who’s also from New Zealand, we also call Hong Kong a home. And we are all up for Hong Kong’s upcoming triumphs in sports.”
“We want to make Zespri’s campaign lively and culturally relevant so that it can really lead audiences to feel the brand’s energy, instead of thinking it as just a kiwifruit they see in the supermarket.” said Alfred Tam, dentsu Interntional Hong Kong. “We created easy to consume game-show like content and appointed Matthew and Sarika who are exact personification of Zespri to help visualise the ideal lifestyles the brand wishes to introduce.”
