On 4 November, the agency scooped Creative Circle’s top honours with the First Film Award and on 10 November, it won the Food & Beverage Silver Award at this year’s Assegai Integrated Marketing Awards.
Nando’s, which is rooted in South Africa, has been the voice of the people on challenges faced in the country since its inception. When ordering a full chicken on the Nando’s app or website, the ‘Bright Side’ campaign offered consumers the opportunity to get the equivalent number of free sides dependent on the stage of loadshedding the country was in at the time, i.e. stage four loadshedding meant consumers could get four free sides with their chicken.
To amplify this campaign, Eclipse Communications conceptualised and executed a digital advert that finds humour in the daily power challenges while highlighting the promotion.
Creative Director, Eclipse Communications, Fareez Joulay, says the success of the campaign is testament to the type of greatness that can be achieved when the client believes in being different and bold.
“We are honoured and of course delighted with the awards that are a showcase to the hard work, dedication and creativity of the entire team at Eclipse. Our focus has always been to provide the best work for our clients while we navigate the ever changing communications landscape through measurable and impactful campaigns and strategies. Receiving recognition from our peers in the industry is always wonderful and heartwarming,”
Eclipse Communications CEO, Cheryl Reddy.
