The pitch – Invade New Zealand

Category: Personal | .Net — Rory Primrose @ 16:06

I just saw the first episode in the latest season of the Gruen Transfer. The concept of the show is classic and the idea of “The pitch” is simply gold. Watching this episode reminded me of a pitch from last year about selling the idea of invading New Zealand. My favourite was the advert that lost the competition, but I just have to link to it for posterity.
