WWF_LAST55_overBlack_1a.jpgOgilvy & Mather has placed an advertising message inside a music track part of the Last 55 campaign for WWF.

At 55 seconds into ‘I See Red’ Tim Finn interrupts the song urging people to go online and sign The Last 55 petition to help save the Maui’s Dolphins. After the message from the artist the song continues. TRN have placed the song in regular programming on Haurarki, Hits and Coast.

Says Dean Buchanan, chief content officer TRN: “We are very happy to support this initiative, it’s a great cause and excellent use of star kiwi talent, music and the radio medium.”

Says Angus Hennah, Ogilvy & Mather NZ executive creative director: “I See Red seemed a very appropriate song to launch this phase of the campaign – if we don’t act now we will see the extinction of the Maui’s Dolphins in our lifetime.”

The Last 55 campaign has been a huge success to date with over 82,000 signing the petition (the target was 55,000 before the election) making it arguably the most successful online petition ever in New Zealand.
