It was an electric evening at the 2017 Durban Loeries last night, with the Ogilvy group walking away with a total 14 awards.
The evening started with the funny Donovan Goliath as master of ceremonies, with DJ Ready-D spinning some fresh tunes that helped soften the gradual decline of our sobriety.

Know that each award is as valuable to us as the next, but the amount of pride we felt watching our teams win two Gold Loeries for KFC Soundbite & MTV #FCKHIV, can only be compared to the maternal pride that Daenerys Targaryen felt when she had given birth to her dragons.
