PodsCC.jpgClemenger BBDO Melbourne and Mars are set to release a new TV campaign for Pods on Sunday.

The TVC stars both a live and an animatronic crocodile and was shot on location at a croc farm on the Gold Coast and at a site in not-so-tropical Warrandyte (just north of Melbourne).

Pods are a uniquely Australian product – they are not manufactured by Mars in any other market so creating a campaign that felt Australian was important.

Matt Graham from Mars Chocolate Australia says this gives them a unique opportunity creatively.

Says Graham: “We’re really excited to be making an iconic Australian ad for Pods. We consider this our local jewel and one we are very proud of. The brand has grown significantly over the past few years and this campaign will continue the momentum.”
