\t\t\t\t\t \tOne of New World\u2019s most beloved campaigns is back with the return of the SMEG collectables promotion in a new campaign via McCann New Zealand. The promotion gives shoppers the opportunity to build a premium kitchen knives collection, simply by doing their regular grocery shop.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The popular promotion marks the latest chapter in New World\u2019s ongoing partnership with iconic Italian brand SMEG, following the success of previous campaigns.<\/p>\n

Having launched in-stores and online on Monday, the 12-week campaign rewards customers with one sticker for every $20 spent in-store or online, which can be redeemed across New World\u2019s biggest-ever range of nine premium SMEG products.<\/p>\n

Built around the concept of \u201cCollect Like a Pro to Prep Like a Pro\u201d, the campaign brings to life the idea that everyone can feel like a top chef in the kitchen. Whether they\u2019re creating consomm\u00e9 \u00e0 la brunoise or a toasted sandwich, shoppers can collect, slice, carve and prep like a pro with premium SMEG knives.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t \t\t<\/p>\n

The integrated campaign\u00a0celebrates the transformation that happens every day when household cooks pick up quality kitchen tools, adding a touch of professional flair to every meal time.\u00a0It launched with a new 30-second TVC, and runs across digital, outdoor, social and in-store channels.<\/p>\n

New World Retail & Loyalty Marketing Manager, Sarah Austin says the campaign reflects what customers have consistently asked for: rewards that deliver lasting value and can be enjoyed every day: \u201cCustomers have told us they love collectables they can actually use, so we\u2019re excited to bring back our partnership with SMEG with our biggest range yet. Whether you\u2019re cooking a quick family dinner or trying something new in the kitchen, these are products that can make everyday moments feel a little more special.\u201d<\/p>\n

Says Pete Wujkowski, Creative Director, McCann New Zealand: \u201cA pro piece of kit makes you feel like a pro in the kitchen. We wanted to bring that feeling of confidence to life via this high-stakes procedure.\u201d<\/p>\n

The nine-piece New World SMEG collection includes four returning favourite knives from the 2020 campaign, the Vegetable, Utility, Meat and Chef\u2019s knives. They join two new additions, the Small Santoku and Nakiri knives. Club+ members can also collect three exclusive products \u2013 The Cutting Board, Knife Block and Set of Two Steak Knives \u2013 giving customers more reasons to scan their Club+ card throughout the promotional period.<\/p>\n
