New Zealand’s Top 10 Favourite Ads of November 2022
Every three months, TRA, in partnership with ThinkTV, surveys regular New Zealanders to find out which ads are resonating and which creative is going the distance.
The survey asks a nationally representative sample of over 1,000 people a simple, unprompted question: “What is your favourite ad on TV at the moment?” We also ask them why they like it and how it makes them feel.
The most frequently mentioned favourites make up our top ten list.

Expert tips for buying media
For linear TV and radio, 15-second ads typically deliver greater reach and frequency, while also unlocking more bonus inventory from networks. In contrast, BVOD 30-second rates are often similar to 15-second rates — making 30-second ads the more effective choice.
Placing TV and radio ads first in break can noticeably lift performance.
Half-page newspaper adverts deliver strong page presence at an efficient rate.
Newspapers and magazines offer regional inserts to precisely target specific communities.
6m x 3m and 12m x 3m are the most common billboard formats. Billboard skins can be reused, saving on production costs.
