by Ad Feature. It’s one Superhero and two Heroes this week from Andy Rice, Sizakele Marutlulle and Jacob Moshokoa! Rice also chats to Rob van Rooyen, House of Brave executive director strategy, about the thorny issue of ad blockers, following the announcement that new Apple’s IOS9 has built in ad blocking capabilities.
For the Wall of Fame or Shame:
- Rice awards Hero-status to Weylandts’ latest TVC, “Tastemakers”, the first from its in-house advertising team
- Moshokoa gives the thumbs up to the latest ad from international retailer H&M, an epic six-minute video from Adam&Eve/DDB featuring David Beckham and Kevin Hart for its Modern Essentials range, and
- Making it a full house of praise, Marutlulle hands out a Superhero to Sri Lankan media brand, Daily News, for its latest print ad, “Mars has water”.
Enjoy the show!
