Mount Franklin provides hydration for any situation via Saatchi & Saatchi, New Zealand
Mount Franklin has just released a new summer campaign, focusing on favourite summer moments Australians love – a dip at the beach or pool, the classic road trip or a BBQ get together. This builds on the brand platform released last year ‘The Nation’s Hydration’ and continues the light-hearted, quirky tone – this time having a little fun with rhyme.
The campaign via Saatchi & Saatchi New Zealand, aims to capture Aussies when they’re out and about. At the centre of the campaign are three digital videos which all feature an unexpected and humorous twist. The activity also features in outdoor advertising, delivering contextual messages that will appear in classic summer spots and popular transport routes. Other touchpoints include radio, social and in-store.
Says Anne Joly, water marketing manager, Mount Franklin: “We are thrilled with the strong results The Nation’s Hydration campaign has generated for Mount Franklin. This summer, more than ever, Mount Franklin will be your perfect hydration sidekick and provide Hydration for any 
Situation.”
Says Corey Chalmers, joint ECD, Saatchi & Saatchi: “After successfully introducing ‘Mount Franklin’ as ‘The Nation’s Hydration’ last year, it’s been great fun extending this into the Summer campaign. It’s so refreshing to have a client who’s prepared to inject a good dose of 
humour into this category.”

That’s terrible
That’s terrible
So we’re a nation of annoying tossers?
I don’t know who should be held accountable – the 14 year old who created the work or the parent who allowed them to.
Why did they get some crap NZ agency to do this? We could have made something this bad here.
