Mayo Hardware launches campaign for new ‘Gecko’ insect zappers via Xavier Advertising
Mayo Hardware has teamed with Xavier Advertising to launch a new brand of powered mosquito and insect zappers. The product is branded ‘Gecko’ in honour of the insect loving reptile.
Says John Thomas, Mayo marketing manger: “We were looking for an agency that could turn around cut through creative in a hurry, off a solid strategic base. Xavier filled the bill perfectly.
“In Australia we all love our summertime outdoor parties and barbies, but unfortunately the mozzies love them too. In essence, consumers can ‘Kill the bugs before they kill the party’ by getting themselves a Gecko.”
The new 30 and 15 TVCs and accompanying print execution launch over the Christmas-New Year period. Gecko is available exclusively at Bunnings.
