The festive season is upon us. And as we get ready to let our hair-down and kick our feet up, Debonairs Pizza rolled up its sleeves one last time to launch a meal that would make this years festive a little more feast-ive - without breaking the bank, of course.
We briefed the agency to capture the spirit of November/December where South Africans get into the festive spirit, forget their woes for a time and go big, said Famous Brands Marketing Executive, Toni Joubert.
And so, in response to the season where everyone is prepared to be extra, Debonairs Pizza and its agency FCB Joburg endeavored to make a meal that did the same. Introducing Ke Dezemba Box - a large Triple-Decker(r), an extra side of your choice and an extra 1.5 litre Coke - all because tis the season to be extra.
The advertising campaign for this perfect-for-sharing meal was put forward by FCB Joburgs creative team of Creative Director and Copywriter Mbeu Snooze Kambuwa, Art Director Luzuko Witbooi and Copywriter Sandile Hamilton.
From the product name to the campaign execution, the idea was designed to celebrate the South African spirit of Ke Dezemba Boss, a time where people get together and get down. The team felt that Debonairs Pizzas Ke Dezemba Box was the perfect meal to tell this story, as it boasts a range of extras and is perfectly portioned for sharing.

The ad takes the viewer on a journey through Durban Beachfront all the way to a vibey chillaz overlooking a Joburg skyline. Featuring numerous scenes of contrasting South Africans every day approach to their go big approach during the festive season. For example, theres a beautiful girl getting ready for a date. The voice-over announces Dezemba! and the shot shows her dressed to the nines all sparkly and fine, ready for her Dezemba date.
Bevan Cullinan and Ian Difford of Picture Tree and Hungry Films directed the ad respectively, and post production was handled by Orchestra Blue.
