All the 2011 Pendoring winners; Draftfcb tops againDraftfcb 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." Draftfcb Cape Town took Gold in both the Radio and Original Afrikaans categories for the ad "Kiwi-Kapenaars", for "Paleis/Pandok" in Newspaper and Silver for "Shaik" in Out of Home. This achievement earned it the Prestige Award. In addition, Draftfcb Cape Town received Silver in the category Communication Design for "Klink 'n glasie" (Distell), while Draftfcb Johannesburg received Gold in Truly South African for the TV ad "Pirates" (Vodacom) and for the radio campaign "Kobe Beef", "Queen's Cake" and "Ghee" (for Lotto). Draftfcb Joburg, for client Toyota, also bagged two Silvers in the TV categories for "Taai Verby" and "FJ", while its poster campaign titled "Jack Parow" for Pendoring 2010 garnered Silver as well. Legend Award Advertising stalwart and veteran Hennie Klerck (80), founding partner of Adverkor - later known as Klerck, Marais & Potgieter (KMP) and Saatchi & Saatchi Klerck & Barrett - was honoured with the Legend Award for his pioneering role in promoting Afrikaans advertising over three decades, making him only the third recipient of this award. Following in the wake, Joe Public was awarded two Golds (for its "Clover-kalendar" in Communication Design and the newly introduced Craft category), while Ogilvy Johannesburg garnered one Gold (in Email and Viral Marketing) for "Fokofpolisiekar" (Audi) and three Silvers, two for the campaign "Triomf", "Toorberg", "Fiela se kind" (Exclusive Books) in Newspaper and Original Afrikaans and for "Phela" (Topsy Foundation) in Truly South African: Radio.
