@marklives so it’s true. Quite sad to see them move. #DraftFCB have been with them from the beginning of mobile in SA. Iconic work.
Chris Moerdyk @chrismoerdyk
DraftFCB has lost the Vodacom account after decades of sterling service. I just hope this isn’t change for the sake of change.
Kelvin Jonck @KelvinJonck
