Over the past few weeks Mike has been filming for a new series of Mike Pero Real Estate commercials, which launch to air Sunday 8th October at 6.10pm on TV1 and TV3 news.
“We thought we’d do something completely different and came up with the idea of the CEO riding through the country, from Auckland to Invercargill,” Pero said.
“It was an absolute pleasure having to ride a bike for a couple of weeks, even if it took me 11 or 12 ‘takes’ up and down the same stretch of road with camera crews trying to get the best footage.”
The six-time New Zealand motorcycle racing champion has always retained his interest in two wheels and is a regular competitor aboard, a now classic, Japanese grand prix race bike.
He recently completed filming in the Mackenzie Basin aboard a Triumph sports tourer motorcycle.
“This campaign is obviously to promote our brand, but at the same time I love what we’ve complied”.
“It’s a series of beautiful New Zealand scenes and footage from the north to the south, highlighting the most picturesque scenery.”
Pero hopes it will also help showcase New Zealand as a tourist destination when the imagery is shared online, as well as TV.
“We’ve got such a beautiful country and despite what people might be thinking, it’s not 60 seconds of Mike Pero advertising.
“It’s 57 seconds of New Zealand beauty and landscapes and only three seconds of us at the end.”
“TV commercials work for us and they help us sell our customers’ homes but it’s even more rewarding when you can be creative and shoot high-end footage of our beautiful country,” Pero said.
We hope you enjoy!
