Ultra Mel ad layers photography

Hello World – a photographic collaboration
Hello World Agency officially launched their new offices in the Design District of Rosebank recently and took the opportunity to showcase their innovative approach to branding.
The launch concept was a collaboration that included South Africa’s top photographic and artist talent, as well as staff, media and clients, who were all asked to participate in developing a multi-medium exhibition of how they interpreted Hello World. This idea was taken one step further by integrating their interpretations into the ever-evolving brand identity to form a multi-dimensional view of Hello World.

Together with advertising agency Ogilvy Johannesburg, the ANC has produced four commercials (view the first one here) that talk to the positive changes ordinary South Africans have experienced since 1994, while acknowledging “there is much more to be done”. Once again Nelson Mandela is prominently mentioned at the beginning of the ad followed by a message from Zuma at the end.
