South Africa
This year Men’s Health, SA’s best-selling men’s magazine, turned 20 years old. That’s two decades of helping the everyday man be better. Becoming the best version of yourself can be a daunting task. It takes courage. We wanted to celebrate this milestone and recognise men who, over the years, have risen to the challenge. So we tasked four directors with exploring the idea of getting rid of your old self. The result was the same story told in four different ways and four very different short films. We created a microsite called The Better Man Project to host their films and asked South Africa to vote for their favorite. Check it out and vote for your favorite here: http://bit.ly/2JIooWQ Film advertisement created by MullenLowe Group, South Africa for Men's Health, within the category: Media.

Based on the premise that everybody has got something to give, we set out to spread happiness with this live stunt commercial. No actors, just a real orphanage and old age home, and one take to get the moment. The TVC has already been awarded Best of McDonald's TVC for 2012/13 by some of the top Mcdonald's Creative Directors from around the world.

Every year in South Africa thousands of criminals escape conviction due to people disturbing crime scene evidence. The DNA Project set out to educate the public never to interfere with a crime scene. We created a 6x8m canvas out of small white stones. Onto this we spray painted the giant mugshot of a criminal. As people walked over the installation the criminal's identity became more and more unrecognisable.
