\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\"PAK\u2019nSAVE<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\t \tMcCann New Zealand and PAK\u2019nSAVE have launched \u2018Makeaways\u2019, a new outdoor campaign encouraging hungry Kiwis to skip the takeaway queue and make their favourite fast-food meals at home for much less.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

In signature tongue-in-cheek PAK\u2019nSAVE fashion, the campaign uses specific locations to show up at the exact moment and place a craving is most likely to strike, within eyeline of the restaurants selling those very meals.<\/p>\n

Rather than telling people to resist their cravings, \u2018Makeaways\u2019 gives them permission to have exactly what they want, just for less. An insight from the Restaurant Association\u00a0revealed that in the first three months of 2026 alone, Kiwis spent a staggering $1.1 billion on takeaways.<\/p>\n

Lauren Ness, Senior Marketing Manager of Foodstuffs \/ PAK\u2019nSAVE, said the campaign was about finding a simple way to help Kiwis make their money go further: \u201cAt PAK\u2019nSAVE, everything we do is about saving Kiwis money. So we wanted to find a way to intercept that moment when you\u2019re hungry, you\u2019re craving something, and takeaway feels like the only option.<\/p>\n

\u201cInstead of telling people they shouldn\u2019t have what they want, we\u2019re showing them they can skip the pricey drive-thru and make exactly what they\u2019re craving at home, for much less\u00a0using ingredients\u00a0from our\u00a0Pams range.\u201d<\/p>\n

In classic\u00a0PAK\u2019nSAVE style, the team kept the creative simple, yet effective. From burgers and fried chicken to meatball sandwiches and pizza, each billboard displays the handful of ingredients you need to create your favourite takeaway at home.<\/p>\n

The billboards are not only location-targeted, but address mealtimes too. As the clock shifts forward, the creative shifts with breakfast creative changing to lunch then dinner,\u00a0resulting in an outdoor campaign that changes with the day and the cravings that come with it.<\/p>\n

Leisa Wall, McCann Chief Creative Officer, said \u2018Makeaways\u2019 wasn\u2019t about shaming Kiwis for their cravings, but embracing them: \u201cEvery other supermarket is telling Kiwis to eat better. We\u2019re telling them they can eat exactly what they want, at a fraction of the price. No guilt. Just ingredients.\u201d<\/p>\n

The creative makes use of half of PAK\u2019nSAVE\u2019s iconic logo, with the ingredient line-up resolving into the second half of the brand mark. The logo becomes part of the idea itself:\u00a0\u2018Make the takeaway ,\u2019nSAVE\u2019.<\/p>\n

While digital OOH is the hero of the campaign, \u2018Makeaways\u2019 is also supported by SEO, social and online recipes, ensuring the low-priced alternative is wherever and whenever takeaway temptation strikes.<\/p>\n
