On Mother’s Day it’s usually dad who buys the gift. Bostik wanted to give kids the chance to use their imagination and create a gift for moms that was extra special this Mother’s Day. One that had their own personal touch and charm, so moms would know just how loved and special they are. So, Bostik armed kids with the tools and set them off to work.

Liqui-Fruit asked us to come up with a TV campaign to promote their new packaging. The most notable change to the pack is the removal of the straw, a characteristic that led us straight to a simple, humorous insight.

Letting the comedy speak for itself, Slim purposely chose to avoid too many tricksy morphs and let editor Ricky Boyd work his magic, allowing the cut to reveal the change from cool Cape-Town-land to uncool-place-of-no-return, after our guy mistakenly strays beyond the signal of Good Hope. The concept proves that those wine-guzzling rascals can laugh at themselves after all. We didn't actually get to interview any of them but we'd imagine that if we did, they'd say something like, "It's, like, the truth. And if you don't, like, find it funny, you're probs from, like, Jo'burg. Eeuw." Film advertisement created by BBDO, South Africa for Good Hope FM, within the category: Media.

People waiting at the bus stop would hear the sound of a bike travelling really fast and approaching the shelter. As it ‘sped past’, water splashed from the puddle much as it would have if a motorbike had driven at pace through it. But there was no motor bike. Had it been travelling so fast, the people had missed seeing it? Outdoor advertisement created by FCB, South Africa for BMW, within the category: Automotive.

Since 1951, South Africans have loved Volkswagen. In fact, you'll probably find one on every street, road, highway and byway in the country. We were asked to find an innovative way to celebrate the impact that Volkswagen has had on South African streets, and use it to kickstart Volkswagen South Africa's Facebook Page. Volkswagen Street Quest was a Facebook challenge to find as many Volkswagens as possible on South African streets using Google Street View in a custom-designed gaming interface. The game was played over four weeks and the player with the most Pins each week qualified for the Grand Final – a live playoff in which finalists competed for prizes worth R50 000.

Afrika Tikkun is a non-profit organization that supports underprivileged youth from early childhood to job placement. To help increase donations to this very worthy cause, we created this ad to show people the actual children they would be helping and the great things these kids are capable of, if they’re given the right opportunities.

World of Birds, a bird and monkey sanctuary in Hout Bay, South Africa, relies completely on donations and money collected from entry fees to feed their animals. The objective was to get more people to visit World of Birds during the winter months - a traditionally quiet time for them. So, we came up with an idea that taps into the emotional side as to why people should visit the park - and what better way than to tell the truth: Without food, life fades. We brought this idea to life by creating posters and sidewalk art out of birdseed. The seed would eventually fall off the posters or be pecked up by birds from the sidewalk - showing just how life disappears when food supplies diminish.

Prostate cancer is the most common form of cancer in males locally and globally and it’s showing a significant increase in numbers. The problem is, for most men, there’s nothing more terrifying than going for the dreaded ‘finger check’. So much so that prostate cancer, which is highly treatable in its early stages, goes largely undetected until it’s too late. Today though, unbeknownst to most men, the first prostate exam for guys over the age of 40, can be a simple blood test, with ‘the finger’, or Digital Rectal Examination, only playing a role if abnormalities are found.
