About this object
Since their humble beginnings in Wanganui in 1877, Whitlock’s sauces and chutneys have become an institution in many New Zealand homes. This family business, established by Fred Whitlock in 1877, was one of the oldest and longest running businesses in Wanganui. The factory was located in London Street and manufactured a wide range of cordials, sauces, pickles, chutneys and baking goods. These award winning jars were imported from Europe for the Whitlock’s display at the 1885 Industrial Exhibition in Wellington. Although acquired by Cerebos in 1992 and no longer family owned, the Whitlock’s brand is well known all over New Zealand and is recognised as a genuine kiwi icon.

After the 1947 Gisborne tsunami, June Young (née McLauchlan) found two piper fish stranded when the sea retreated. The fish were unknown in nearby waters. June was living with her family at the Tatapōuri hotel, north of the city, which was swamped by the giant wave. Her father had the fish preserved, and they were displayed for many years in a large jar in the public bar. She still vividly remembers the flooding of the hotel and the devastation caused by the wave.

The authors apply recent advances in creativity theory to discover perceptual differences in the factors of strategy, originality, and artistry among creatives and noncreatives. It was found that current advertising position influences subjective perceptions of what constitutes creative advertising. Creatives tend to perceive advertisements as more appropriate if they are artistic, but account executives tend to perceive advertisements as more appropriate if they are strategic. The study also indicates that creatives have a distinctive preference for a strong originality component to strategy. To be original within the confines of a tight strategy is perceived as the most creative by advertising creatives. Account executives are so focused on strategy, they will often accept artistic advertisements as a substitute for truly original work. The authors consider future research implications of the study and its limitations.
