Popular Ad Campaign Wins Again

24 July, 2018 - 08:01

These three radio ads from FCB Africa agency, 1886 Advertising, took a Radio Campaign Silver Lion at the Cannes Advertising Festival this year, proving that great creative ideas have the legs to go the distance, year after year.

The campaign, for Cell C Surance, initially broke two years ago. It used a reworked version of Amagugu Alelizwe', a well-known, traditional South African hymn sung at funerals, to show that you don't have to mourn the loss of your cellphone.

The idea was to juxtaposed the sombre nature of the song with fun lyrics about how our different characters came to lose their cellphones. Each spot represents a different aspect covered by Cell C's C Surance, explained 1886 Chief Creative Officer, Stuart Stobbs.

When it was launched, the campaign received many positive reviews; so we extended the campaign. And we're excited with how it has been received by audiences.'
