Old Mutual’s new television commercial personifies what it takes for a brand to remain relevant for over 175 years. Central to the passage-of-time commercial is the core value of caring and protecting what is important, which is what defines the brand purpose of enabling positive futures. The advert seeks to demonstrate the universal insight that underscores Old Mutual’s brand essence, which is that while times may change, what matters never will. The advert conveys this message through a story of a father’s hopes and dreams while raising a son and one day seeing his son realising his own dreams and having hopes for the next generation. The advert, which subtly suggests that stepping into your father’s shoes is not just about growing up but also about carrying forward the legacy.

The spirit of generosity is alive and well in South Africa. It’s evident in the many selfless acts of kindness, large and small, that we witness people doing on a daily basis. This is the kind of generosity that Cadbury Dairy Milk would like to shine a light on; the need for connection, the spark to lift others up. Now, more than ever, we have the chance to bring about positive change. This time, by giving our most vulnerable – our children – the precious gift of childhood. Last year, this boundless generosity shone through as South Africans donated over 100 000 pre-loved toys, books and games to orphaned and vulnerable children via the Cadbury Dairy Milk ‘The Little Generosity Shop’ and ‘GenerosiTrees’ activations. At a time when this generous nature is truly needed, Cadbury Dairy Milk is once again calling on all South Africans to join forces to support orphaned and vulnerable children by facilitating their right to play. For a limited time, when you purchase one of five 80g...

It was an epic episode if ever there was one. With this week’s theme being Material Culture, the King of the Skhothane movement, and the reigning Ultimate House Vibe King, Material Don Dada made a celebrity appearance as a guest judge. Don was there to judge the host’s ability throw an epic Ultimate House Vibe that is dripping with extra cold swag.
