Funny enough
Ogilvy NZ creates this epic commercial for New Zealand Police. Directed by Damien Shatford through The Sweetshop, the film is a follow up for 2017 advert “Freeze! NZ Police’s most entertaining recruitment video, yet!”
The message is well delivered “With over 60 real cops, a few paranormal and movie ones too, we’re here to help New Zealanders get all the answers they need to join our team.”
