Cell C Game of Phones campaign puts the WIN in Winterfell

Last week I shared this pic of actor/comedian/director - Glen Biderman-Pam - playing all of the characters from GoT.

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!
