Vogel’s solves the age-old question ‘how to achieve the perfect piece of Vogel’s toast?’ in latest campaign via DDB Group Aotearoa
Vogel’s is one of New Zealand’s most beloved bread brands. Now, a new initiative from Vogel’s and DDB Group Aotearoa solves one of life’s great conundrums, how to achieve the perfect piece of Vogel’s toast. The solution, Vogel’s Certified Toasters, available exclusively at The Warehouse.
As a “wet baked bread,” Vogel’s is unlike anything else on the bread market, and as all Kiwi know, it comes with some unique challenges.
Because of the denser texture and higher moisture content, most toasters need to put Vogel’s down at least twice to achieve the perfect toast. As a result, Vogel’s gets burned more than most.
To finally begin to address this age old problem, Vogel’s have partnered with The Warehouse, one of New Zealand’s largest retailers, and tested every Living & Co/Kensington toaster instore and online, to certify the optimal Vogel’s toasting method for each and every model.
Across all 89 Warehouse stores, for a limited time, toasters on shelves will be badged with their bespoke Vogel’s certifications, so no matter which toaster Kiwi take home, they can achieve the perfect Vogel’s slice every single time.
Says Matt Williams, creative director, DDB Group Aotearoa: “Is it two times on four, or one time on five, then once two? No one really knows. We all do it differently, and differently every time. Something needed to change. So after some extenisve, painstaking research and testing, we’ve given Kiwi one less thing to worry about, and conveniently made Vogel’s the default toast of choice on thousands of toasters around the country. And there’s more to come.”
Says Jesper Poulsen, head of marketing baking, Goodman Fielder: “We are delighted to be collaborating with The Warehouse, helping Kiwi toast with precision when they choose a Vogel’s Certified Toaster.”
The DDB created campaign to support the initiative, ‘Vogel’s Certified Toasters’ is appearing across social, OOH, instore/POS, and radio from July 17th.

A toast to great work!
will someone please empty my crumb tray before I set the fire alarm off again
I like this
Actually good
Nice work Matt & Freddie.
Nice CG and Animation Toybox!
Someone has made this happen. The credits should have all the creatives who’ve ever worked on Vogels and come up with this idea to be told, ‘Yeah, Nah’. too hard.
It actually works really well…
So good, how has it not been done before? Oh wait…

If they made a Vogels toaster, yeah, it’d be the same. But, correct me if I’m wrong, they certified all the existing toasters. So all of NZ doesn’t need to buy some $500 specialist thing from Europe.
But yeah, ads look the same but it’s the idea that’s good, not the ads
whether DDB actually credit the creatives that came up with the idea… not just the CDs.
C’mon that’s never happened before with a network agency in NZ
…
Unless…
you need to remember that the idea belongs to DDB and to the client, not the creative who thought it up and left to another agency.
Something Colenso could have done well to remember with Beer Bottle Sand stolen idea.
Another banger from M&F
So is it ‘another banger from M&F,’ and/or were junior creatives involved?
