Woodstock launches comical ‘That’s the Spirit’ brand campaign via TBWA\New Zealand
Woodstock exists to celebrate fun in a world that has become serious, and to bring this to life TBWA\NZ has launched a new Woodstock brand campaign called ‘That’s the Spirit’.
The campaign shows three Kiwi mates hanging out and drinking Woodstock around their kitchen table, at a BBQ and at a house party all while parodying pop culture and each other.
Says Shane Bradnick, chief creative officer, TBWA\NZ: “There seems to be lots of pressure on us all to be our “best” selves all the time – eat well, sleep well and behave well – but sometimes you just want to have some fun and take a break from it all.
“This campaign celebrates the freedom to just be yourself – wearing what you like, saying what you like, drinking what you like and, in a world gone sensible, having some fun. That’s the idea behind ‘That’s the Spirit.”
The campaign commences with a suite of new TVCs and will continue to roll out across other channels in the coming months.
Says Oliver Downs, general manager, Asahi New Zealand: “We’re celebrating the Kiwi Woodstock drinker and giving people permission to just chill, have fun with their mates and be themselves. The idea behind ‘That’s the Spirit’ is that Woodstock doesn’t take itself too seriously, and neither should we.”

The least-funny people you know from high school acquire a magic can that slightly deepens their voice. Execute x3.
BIG PUN
That’s the spirit. A line I’ve written down for spirit brands so many times, then come to my senses, screwed up the piece of paper and thrown it in the bin.
This blatantly uses moments from Star Wars and Taken. Why would any agency put their client at risk like this? It will almost certainly be pulled. Complete disregard for other peoples creative work.
I laughed. Isn’t that the point. It’s a UDL. This will work its arse off.
Lift Plus any one?
