Michael Hill CMO, Joe Talcott, said the company is excited about the new creative direction.

“This is an exciting new creative direction for the company which was founded in 1979 by Sir Michael Hill in Whangarei, New Zealand,” said Talcott.

“We’ve taken a really different approach with this campaign and are very proud of what Michael Hill and Colenso have achieved. Colenso have taken our brand DNA and brought it to life in a visual and emotional experience.

“The creation of the campaign involved talking to over 1200 real people on the streets of New York and out of those, 30 were selected to appear in the campaign, they were asked about their experiences in love and “what would you do for love?” These real people, expressing real love, in whatever form that may take, have been included in the campaign. It is designed to engage and provoke emotional responses, set against a backdrop of beautiful imagery and music.

“We are advocates of love, in all its forms. Every piece of jewellery we sell is an expression of love and our goal is to help people create more love in the world. We believe everyone regardless of age, sex, and relationship status will find something that resonates with them,” he said.
