Our sister branch up at Ogilvy Johannesburg recently created the above flash mob for KFC. KFC believe in creating So Good moments — and since KFC are partnering with Idols South Africa again this year, they wanted to bring that So Good feeling to people standing in the queue so good. Enjoy

PBN: Rehabilitation is Possible
The Prison Broadcasting Network (PBN), is a non-profit rehabilitation programme that teaches prisoners the skills to become employable when they are released. Over 80% of their trainees never go back to a life of crime. We conducted a simple experiment to see if people’s perceptions match up to reality.

Forever Wild: YouTube Interventions
Brief:
Rhinos will be extinct within 10 years due to the escalating illegal international trade in rhino horn. Forever Wild, a non-profit initiative with no budget, wanted to convey how critical the rhino poaching situation is, and get people from around the world to sign their petition that would be presented to the US Congress.
Solution:
Our insight was that people say they have no time for serious stuff, yet they spend hours on silly online distractions. So we created “YouTube Interventions” – over 60 YouTube clips that were remixed versions of frivolous trending videos (and some classics). Targeting people who actively searched for stupid viral videos, these Trojan Horses forced them to confront the reality of how they spent their time online.
