Sweet Nothings Make Big Billboards

 

Over 52 marriage proposals, a handful of pregnancy announcements and more than one request for partners to do the dishes are amongst the thousands of messages submitted by Kiwis for Westfield’s Sweet Nothings campaign. 

This Valentine’s Day, 12 lucky winners will have their ‘sweet nothings’ turned into giant billboards at 12 locations in Auckland, Hamilton, Wellington and Christchurch.

Westfield invited people to submit their messages of love by dropping a note into their local centre or online at westfield.co.nz.   The winning messages of love will appear on billboards in close proximity to Westfield’s 12 centres for the romantic author to capture their Valentine with their personal message.

“It seems love is well and truly in the air and we’re delighted to help Kiwis share their heartfelt sentiments with the people of New Zealand,” said Linda Trainer, Westfield Shopping Centres General Manager.

Here is sample of some of the sweet nothings Westfield have received:

~        To Sonja.  I think you’re amazing but the brown hair looked way better.   Love Sam

~        I'd love you more if you cleaned the house more regularly.... Or cooked something edible.  Happy Valentine's Day.

~        Mumbles, I love you to the Moon....  and back!  Love Snuggly Bear

~        To my PERSONAL trainer, take me out on a real date please x

~        You don’t have to buy me anything, but I LOVE you more when you help me with the dishes!
