Draftfcb and Hellocomputer are flying high over the Mother City following their performance at The Loerie Awards 2013 held in Cape Town.
Their tally on the first evening of the two-night strong event included one of only two Grand Prix awarded on the night, four Silvers and four Bronzes
Draftfcb Cape Town's Engen Fire Blanket Calendar' was the recipient of the Grand Prix. This work, which had won Silver for the agency earlier this year in Cannes, also received an Ubuntu Silver.
We're obviously delighted about our Grand Prix - what a thrill to receive the first awarded at this year's ceremony. Engen's Fire Blanket is an idea that has caught the world's imagination, and we look forward to a long life for the initiative, said Draftfcb Cape Town Executive Creative Director, Mike Barnwell.
Furthermore, adding our awards at the Pendoring Awards gives us a Royal Flush' for the weekend - a Grand Prix, Gold, Silver and Bronze! That's also quite special.
The full list of awards going to Draftfcb agencies on the night were:
Grand Prix - Draftfcb Cape Town - Engen Fire Blanket Calendar'
Silver - Hellocomputer - Castle Lite Extra Cold Mind Booth'
Silver - Hellocomputer - Toyota Hilux Dakar Emailer
Silver - Hellocomputer/Draftfcb Johannesburg - Johannesburg Zoo World's First Tweeting Badger'
Silver Ubuntu - Draftfcb Cape Town - Engen Fire Blanket Calendar'
Bronze - Hellocomputer - Toyota Hilux Dakar mixed media campaign
Bronze (Campign) - Hellocomputer/Draftfcb Johannesburg - Johannesburg Zoo World's First Tweeting Badger'
Bronze (Media Innovation) - Hellocomputer/Draftfcb Johannesburg - Johannesburg Zoo World's First Tweeting Badger'
Bronze - Draftfcb Cape Town - Vital Health Foods A Small Big Idea'
Bronze Ubuntu - Draftfcb Social Marketing - Eskom Operation Khanyisa'
Campaign Craft - Hellocomputer/Draftfcb Johannesburg - Johannesburg Zoo World's First Tweeting Badger'
Celebrating the agencies' successes on the first night of the event, Hellocomputer managing director David Moffatt praised the teams in both the Johannesburg and Cape Town offices saying that they'd innovated in the strategic, the creative and the technical spheres.
On the second evening (Sunday September 22), which awarded the above-the-line categories, Draftfcb added more Loeries to the tally, all awards coming from the radio category.
These included a Silver for Draftfcb Johannesburg and Toyota, a Bronze for Draftfcb Cape Town and The Peninsula School Feeding Association; and a Campaign Craft for Draftfcb Johannesburg and Toyota.
The group's performance at Loeries follows a spectacular result at the Pendoring Advertising Awards, held on Friday (September 20). Here, it won a total of seven awards, including the Prestige Award.
Taking it and clients to the stage were Draftfcb Johannesburg's campaign for Toyota Taai Oumas, Taai Tieners, Taai Meisies', which won the Prestige Award as well as a Radio Gold.
Another radio campaign by Draftfcb Johannesburg for Toyota Automark was awarded a Radio Gold in the Truly South African category while Draftfcb Cape Town's Fire Blanket Calendar for Engen was awarded Gold in the Truly South African general category.
Draftfcb Cape Town's work for Pendoring 2012 won that agency three Silvers. In the category Television/cinema with a production budget less than R500 000 it was Afrikaans Kom Kaap Toe' while in the Posters, it was Vat Oor: Sydney, Vat Oor: Londen, Vat Oor: Tokio'. Vat Oor: Sydney, Vat Oor: Londen, Vat Oor: Tokio' also won in the Craft category for illustration.
Chief Creative Officer Brett Morris praised the teamwork which resulted in the wins over the weekend.
Draftfcb has a well-deserved reputation of crafting South Africa's favourite advertising and, in doing so, building the country's favourite brands. The fact that we consistently produce advertising that resonates with ordinary South African's is testament to single one of the people that work for us. We're a meritocracy, not an autocracy.
And we're very proud to draw on our experiences as ordinary South Africans to win the hearts and minds of the consumers that matter to our clients.
We love ideas that matter to ordinary South Africans and we care deeply what they think because they are the ultimate judges of our work, they are the ones who decide whether our work is a success.
And, we don't just create South Africa's favourite advertising in English, we do so in many of South Africa's official languages, as our performance at both Pendorings and Loeries this weekend shows, said Morris.
It is very important for us to be recognised for producing great work in indigenous languages and around truly South African issues, such as the Silver Ubuntu Award for Engen Fire Blanket and the Bronze for Operation Khanyisa.
