OGILVY, SOUTH AFRICA

SENIOR ART DIRECTOR

 

This brand commercial tells the story of a beloved small-town pastor, who has been asked to marry a couple at a destination wedding being held on remote mountainside. Pastor Abey is a really good guy with a bad habit of being late for things. We follow him on his humorous journey as he tries to make it to the wedding on time, all the while using his Vodacom-enabled smartphone to stay in touch along the way and, ultimately, to save the big day.

This Network commercial was much loved by the south African public, winning Kantar Millward Brown’s Best Liked Ad of 2015.
