by MarkLives (@marklives) Andy Rice, Sizakele Marutlulle and Jacob Moshokoa return with FNB, government and adidas as Heroes & Zeros! Proving how clever modern-day advertising has become, Mike Sharman of Retroviral also tells Ad Feature how his agency was recently briefed to create an ad for the new Ford Mustang – without access to the new model in South Africa!

For the Wall of Fame or Shame:

  • Marutlulle hands out a Zero to FNB for a gender-bending radio ad
  • Rice Zeroes another text and acronym-heavy government newspaper ad, and
  • Moshokoa saves the day, awarding a Hero to adidas for its war of words with Under Armour over Andy Murray’s sponsorship.

Enjoy the show!
