Although the news is being widely discussed in adland, Nando’s PR agency, Flow Communications, offered limited communication on the issue, saying only that it could “confirm that Nando’s is working with M&C Saatchi Abel on some projects. We don’t have a statement”.

The latter had held it for the previous eight years, during which it created some of the most-iconic advertising for the brand to come out of South Africa. A spokesperson for MetropolitanRepublic confirmed the agency is no longer working on the account and had only done so on a project basis since the beginning of this year.
