Sensational. The time @glenbidermanpam auditioned for every role on GoT. ��: @glenbidermanpam #gameofthrones

Now, his tomfoolery has finally been revealed. Glen is the director/star of the latest campaign from Cell C, titled Game of Phones.

Take a bow Cell C. Bravery, relevance and the perfect mechanic to blend humorous storytelling with product intrinsics to own the brand’s USPs.

Sensational!
