English Synopsis
In February 2010 we launched the fastest selling chocolate bar in New Zealand. But we weren’t selling chocolate. Five months earlier we had given a very average New Zealander, Josh, a task. Create a chocolate bar that tasted of yellow - using only businesses from the Yellow pages to help. At yellowchocolate.co.nz New Zealanders could follow Josh’s progress. They contribute their opinions, chat, and get tweets. This would become the most talked about campaign in New Zealand. And had the country scurrying to pay $2 for our Yellow pages DM. Proving that with Yellow you can get any job done.
