Colenso BBDO Auckland’s Tip Top idea: make one Mint Trumpet for every New Zealander
December 7 2010, 6:45 pm | | 38 Comments
When Tip Top told Colenso BBDO, Auckland they were bringing back the Mint Trumpet ice cream for a limited time, the agency suggested they make one for every New Zealander. They generously agreed. And so the agency made these public notifications and Facebook app.

Oops – one month too late thanks to VB
Sort your apostrophes out you Dinguses.
Or is it Dingus’s?
Now that’s a fucking cool idea.
It’s should bes dinguses, as its has got a Greek root. Like several of octopus is called an octopuses, not octopi as most ignorant dingusi thinks.
I really like this.
This is fucking terrible.
when are colenso going to do some decent digital?
11:05 when they get all the Aim guys back
the idea is “One for every New Zealander” – it would have worked long before this stupid facebook bullshit. it’s a shame – “the future” is clouding a really beautiful, simple thought.
11.05 I think they might have done some decent digital work recently judging by B&T’s Interactive Agency of the Year award last week ……
4:53 ok name them, 5 or 6 will do and make sure they are all colenso’s
Well noted Anonymous 11.05, Colenso also won B&T Interactive Agency in 2008 as well.
Anonymous 4.53 re your question below are 5 or 6 Colenso Digital pieces that come to mind in the last few months are;
V Evolution – Frucor
The Lost Socks – Fisher & Pakel
Symphonia – Vodafone
Me in Mizone – Mizone
V Ladders – Frucor
Make your own adventure – Tourism Auckland
Anonymous 11.36 AIM Proximity have done a stack of Interactive work as well in 2010. Sure some people have left (maybe you) but others have arrived and the current agency team have been nominated for Campaign Digital Agency of the Year for Aus/NZ for their year. Everyone is rocking along.If you want to be come back I need to know who you are?
5:38 makes an excellent point. Too long has Colenso claimed Aim’s work as their own-erism.
Their’s?????
Someone get Karl to out and copy a book on punctuation and grammar.
V Evolution – Frucor is really nice, the rest is very very average
I know it’s been said, but ‘their’s’? Fucking ‘THEIR’S’?? You illiterate fucking shits. Look up ‘Possessive Pronoun’ you ignorant wankers.
Sorry. I’ll rewrite that so you can understand it.
Yo’u illiter’ate fuck’ing shit’s. Loo’k u’p ‘Pos’s’es’s’ive Pronoun’ yo’u ignoran’t wankers””
When will M&C go from staging Q&A’s in the comments section of this blog to doing work that makes it onto this blog? When Colenso gets the Aim guys back!
The negative comments aren’t coming from M&C. My guess is they are from another agency also on a hill.
Good on ya Adam
9.53 – The last sentence in your comment does not make grammatical sense.
Ha ha go Adam!
I loved Symphonia. Almost as much as the AKQA Christmas card
Lol that some of the campaigns Adam lists as Colenso’s above are showing as finalists for Caples credited to only Aim. So just who really did these campaigns Adam?
Colenso must be a bit pissed that yellow chocolate is showing as an aim entry in caples, when aim didn’t work on it. Comes across as a desperate attempt to get aim some award credit.
I loved yellow chocolate about as much as I liked the the matrix sequels, sometimes it’s best stop when your ahead or a least keep the same director and production crew.
the facebook app is pretty average (look’s like a 3 year old designed it) how about you only post your good work on this blog – oh and if aim did some of it give us a mention 😉
it was weird seeing the AIM CEO up on stage collecting the b&t interactive agency award for Colenso and no mention of AIM for yellow chocolate when it won campaign of the year, sad we shared treehouse with them the year before.
What is Aim anymore – a sign on the outside of the building?
7:02 The best digital suits going around are still from AIM at 100 college hill, and droga5 and tribalDDB are about to own your arse based on the digital in this blog.
this blog has really stressed me out, might need a weekend in Wellington to unwind
7:02 true, and why do we need a CEO at AIM when we’ve got nick g upstairs
how was the the b&t after party? anyone from AIM order room service?
Wow this just got really nasty. You fuck heads talking up Wellington are rotten. The ones that matter don’t mind, the ones that mind don’t matter. The people at 100 College Hill don’t care what logo they wear on their business cards. This shit is boring and disrespectful to a bunch of good people trying to do good shit. Back off you haters. We know we are doing good work. We know we can do better. It is pretty fucking simple.
Hi Jims
On another note what was the story with Janes departure?

Yeesh, mint.
Shouldn’t it be ‘Tip Top is making’? It’s a singular business entity, no?
What a stupid piece of advertising
