Now, Auckland-based advertising agency DraftFCB devised a clever way to promote the product by selling it in water bottles through vending machines at pools and gyms in New Zealand.

"By combining the product with bottled water, we've created a world first — the Bottled Walkman. This simple packaging innovation gave us a unique way to display the product, which instantly demonstrated its benefit," says DraftFCB in a video showcasing the campaign.
