Paying with Visa Checkout during the festive season is less about being able to get there first and more about being able to avoid the inconvenience of going to a mall to do your Festive season shopping. So we highlighted how Visa Checkout is the most convenient way to pay online, enabling you to spend less time shopping so you can spend more time ‘Christmassing’. We created a couple of ‘how-to’ videos to help people hack the Festive Season, demonstrating how quick and easy it is to do your shopping with Visa Checkout, so you can spend time with the ones you love – featuring the unlikely bromance of Naas Botha (famous ex South African rugby player) and Nasty C (famous South African rapper) – encouraging viewers to sign up to VCO and get their shopping done quick and easy. And let viewers know that it didn’t matter if they’ve been Naasty or Naas this year, VCO has got them covered, so they can spend less time shopping and more time on the things that really matter this festive season.

Everyday people test drive pick-ups. But most of the time, these test drives take place in the city. We wanted to give potential customers a better idea of the Amarok's capabilities, and at the same time do some good for the world.
