Ogilvy & Mather Cape Town at the 2012 Loeries

To say we are thrilled with our performance at last weekends 2012 Loeries is an understatement. The agency together with our clients received 31 awards, including a Grand Prix in Integrated for the Be the Coach campaign for Carling Black Label, adding to a series of global accolades which has made it the most awarded integrated campaign anywhere in the world over the past 12 months.

Below are two quotes from our MD, Gavin Levinsohn, and our ECD, Chris Gotz, as well as a list of all the awards won, including links to the work.

Gavin : “This has been our best creative year ever at international awards shows but it was important to have a great performance on home soil as well and, while any awards win is great, it’s especially important for us to have succeeded in progressive categories such as digital.”

Chris “The thing we are most proud of is producing integrated campaigns across three of our biggest clients: South African Breweries, Kraft Food and Volkswagen. Brave clients beget brave work. When these clients combine with the right creative people at the right time amazing things can happen. And they did. We are privileged and humbled by our achievements at Loeries this year.”

A huge thank you to all our clients, business partners, staff, friends, family, and fans. For us it’s now back to work, and time to remember one of David Ogilvy’s wise quotes “We have a habit of divine discontent with our performance. It is an antidote to smugness.”

67 Minutes For Nelson Mandela

This year, to celebrate Nelson Mandela day and to honour Mandela’s commitment to education, volunteers from Ogilvy Cape Town showed their support for a school in need – Thandokhulu Secondary School.

Together with some very enthusiastic pupils from the school we planted a total of ten trees, including a beautiful Yellowwood, learnt about how crucial trees really are on our planet, and, most of all, had fun giving back and doing something good.
