Go-to-market strategies and advertising campaigns for some of South Africa's biggest brands.

Discovery Bank

A bank like no other.

While Discovery Bank shares the concept of being a bank with the other incumbents of the market, Discovery is anything but a traditional bank. It offers its clients a full digital experience that utilises the latest technology to streamline processes, bypass traditional limitations and exceed expectations at every touch point. Effectively, Discovery Bank is the future of banking, available right now.

In order to bring this to life, we created a full 360 advertising campaign that played up the differences between traditional banking and Discovery Bank, by juxtaposing the audio and visuals against each other. Beginning with a 90 second TV and digital film, we unpacked the bank's value proposition across multiple elements, and juxtaposed them against the current offering from the South African banking industry.

Discovery Health

Rise once again.

Discovery has been heavily involved in making the COVID-19 vaccine available and accessible to all South Africans. As part of their vaccine initiative, they wanted to create a piece of communication that acknowledged the difficulties that South Africans have faced in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, and inspired them to believe that there is light at the end of the tunnel — and that through vaccination, we can rise once again, as a nation.

Discovery Bank

Shared-value banking, demystified.

Discovery Bank is the first and only Shared-Value bank in South Africa. After launching in 2019, Discovery Bank realised that they had a problem — South African consumers do not understand what Shared-Value banking is, or what value it offers to their lives. This piece of film became the central device of our campaign that set about to not only demystify what Shared-Value banking is, but to acquire new sign ups for the bank.

Vitality Health International

One launch, every language.

When Discovery launched operations into the African market, they needed a launch advert that would not only create hype and excitement around their proposition — they also needed a mechanism to mitigate against having to source and apply multiple voices, in multiple languages, across multiple regional accents. We created their launch video utilising titles instead of spoken word, creating one property structure that could be adapted as required.

Flora Plant Butter

If you love butter, you'll love Flora Plant BUTTER.

Flora launched Plant Butter, a new innovation in the butter category, into the South African market in early 2021. Because it is 100% plant-based, it offered butter consumers a healthier alternative — but the same proposition created a challenge: communicating that Plant Butter tastes, bakes and cooks just like butter. To launch the product we created the line ‘If you love butter, you'll love Flora Plant BUTTER’ and built this series of films to land the proposition and encourage trial.

Cell C

The consumer champion.

Mobile communication is expensive, especially in South Africa. Cell C, the consumer champion, is challenging the market by making cellphone calls cheaper than ever. This print ad explores how important it is to get the full message across — while illustrating just how expensive the other networks are when compared.

University of Johannesburg

The Art of Accomplishment.

In collaboration with illustrator Louis Minnaar, we developed this theme piece for the new University of Johannesburg brand positioning. The Art of Accomplishment blends black and grey photography with vibrant illustration into a one-of-a-kind look and feel within the higher education industry.

Activations

Silver Star Casino

Silver Loerie Award Winner 2012

A once-in-a-lifetime stack.

SilverStar Casino was celebrating their 3rd birthday. They wanted to create awareness around the celebrations, while at the same time generate foot traffic into the casino. To accomplish this, we brought in the Guinness World Record holder and card stacker genius Brian Berg for a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

KFC Add Hope

Loerie Finalist 2014

My Family.

In order to create awareness around the KFC Add Hope initiative, we used a simple yet highly effective way of demonstrating exactly what your R2 could mean to a hungry child. A ‘My Family’ sticker was designed to represent an extra child being included into your family just by adding a little hope of R2 to your KFC meal.
