Telling it like it isn't

Ever had a traffic cop offering to buy you lunch instead of fining you R500 bucks for the incorrect small print on your licence (after scrutinising it for at least 15 minutes!)? Most probably not, but… that's exactly what happens in the latest TV commercial from Nando's, launching today, Monday, 21 January 2008.
Telling it like it isn't

Says Nando's SA marketing director Paul Appleton, “We are launching 2008 with an incredible meal offer and with the questionable behaviour of some members of the police force hot on the lips of every South African, we thought it would be a good moment to poke some light-hearted fun at the South African topic of the day.

Telling it like it isn't

“The Nando's post-festive-season-depleted-wallet offer… plainly required no persuasion to buy and tuck into,” continues Ahmed Tilly, creative director of Black River F.C. the agency responsible for the latest Nando's campaign. “And that proposition was exactly the spark for the creative concept. We simply just had to tell it like it isn't (but how we hope it could be!)”

Telling it like it isn't

Concludes Appleton, “With this new campaign Nando's has once again sensed the prevailing sentiment and has applied its own unique sense of local humour to a situation well-known to every South African. We hope that when seeing our latest TV ad, South Africans otherwise preoccupied with serious debate will be able to take a minute to sit back, reflect and smile at the situation around them.”
