Sindy Peters | [Inclusion, Empowerment & Social Justice] Glittering sunlight beckons at the end of the cobalt tunnel.

The cost of the sport, from lessons to surfboards and wetsuits, keeps many people onshore. Luckily, nine-year-old Will Ronquest-Ross is helping other kids catch their big break.

Maroefah Smith | [Advertising] Tops at Spar recently launched a new campaign aimed at highlighting the life-changing consequences of drinking and driving. The ‘Aftertaste’ campaign – which will run during December – asks consumers to make responsible choices, be aware of their alcohol consumption and to use alternative modes of transport if necessary. The ‘after-effects’ of drinking and driving, or ‘aftertaste’, including grief, remorse and eternal mourning were ‘bottled’. Through graphic imagery, three thought-provoking television adverts supported by social media, and in-store assets, the campaign shows creatively labelled bottles filled with vile-tasting alcohol in three varieties. “Our hope is that this campaign will drive an understanding of how much more devastating and permanent the effects of drinking and driving are than consumers seem to think. While the bottles aren’t actually available for purchase, they make a physical connection between one bad decision and a lifetime of anguish and grief - the permanent ‘aftertaste’ of regret,” says Mark Robinson, Spar group liquor manager. |
