Draftfcb Cape Town and Johannesburg has once again come out tops at the 17th annual Pendoring Advertising Awards for excellent Afrikaans and South African advertising, held at Vodacom World in Midrand, tonight, Friday, 21 October 2011. Out of 16 Golds and 21 Silvers awarded in total, not only did Draftfcb claim five Golds and five Silvers, its Cape Town office scooped the Prestige Award for its advertising for Cape Town daily newspaper Die Burger.
Since the inception of Pendoring in 1995, Draftfcb has consistently performed excellently, more often than not leading the pack in terms of gold and silver Pendoring trophies, as well as the Prestige Award.
'Pressing social issues and topics embraced, highlighted'
Commented Jan Teulingkx, international Pendoring judge from Saatchi & Saatchi in Brussels and chairman of the judging panel, "It appears that South Africans are generally trying hard to work towards a better future and this resonates in the advertising industry. It was quite noticeable how pressing social issues and topics are embraced and highlighted in advertising, as though to challenge the nation to think about what will happen in and to the country going forward.
"Overall, South African advertising is very sharp, manifesting excellent insight and clever thoughts. The top of the Pendoring crop, the Prestige winner, is intelligent and quite brilliant."
