The Winners

Agency: Ogilvy

Creative Team: Dan Parmenter and Gavin Stradi – Copy Writers
Jonathan Beggs – Creative Director
Fran Luckin – Executive Creative Director  
   
Objective of Campaign: Faced with incoming competition in the Pay TV market, coupled with the first recession to hit South Africa in 17 years, DStv recognised the importance of reminding subscribers and potential subscribers of its value.
   
Campaign Strategy: Ogilvy Johannesburg decided to go right back to basics, demonstrating the incredible quality of programming for which DStv is renowned by reminding listeners what life was like before DStv – and what it could be like with DStv...

Radio was the perfect medium for this campaign, not only because of its excellent reach across the spectrum of South African consumers, but also because it allowed the agency to evoke imagery of the poor quality television shows that every South African would recognise, but without the cost of expensive sets and actors.
