Story | This Campaign - flighted around the time of the 2010 Soccer World Cup - pokes fun at the misconceptions that potential tourists have about South Africa. |
Philosophy | Implore South Africans to give the foreigners what they expect when they arrive by proving all of their misconceptions right and giving ‘Only i-best to ama-visitors” (a campaign line that mixed a local language – Zulu – with English to create a humorous, locally relevant call to action). This particular ad focused on the misconception that all South Africans carry everything on their heads. |
Problem | Nando’s, a Peri-Peri chicken restaurant, wasn’t an official sponsor of the 2010 FIFA World Cup. We needed to find a way to shine over this period and become a “local” spot for both tourists and South Africans alike. We were not only tasked with breaking through the clutter, but also increasing the customer count by 18%. |
Result | The advertising campaign assisted in doubling the meals sold. The promotional meal contributed 6% to overall sales for that period. Nando’s market share of the Fast Food industry increased from 15.6% before March to 16.2% in July 2010. |
