Pendoring adoring Ogilvy's 'Silly Spender'
‘Silly Spender’ took three of the five accolades won by Ogilvy for the same client.
The Pendorings reward the best work done each year in African vernacular languages and Afrikaans, and Ogilvy Johannesburg ECD Mariana O’Kelly acknowledges the importance of having clients like DStv who are keen to invest in multi-lingual campaigns: “They’ve given us a great South African canvas to paint on and the two creative directors involved in all of our Pendoring winners this year, Archie Malinga and Gert Laubscher, and their teams have real-ly delivered exceptional work across the board.”
