Description
To make isiXhosa-speaking consumers (the 2nd largest language group in South Africa) aware of their affordable Internet package, MWEB tapped into Xhosa folklore. isiXhosa speakers inhabit two worlds at the same time – the traditional and modern. Modern technology such as the Internet comfortably co-exists with the notions of witchcraft being real. The ad uses this idea of witchcraft in a contemporary setting in a tongue-in-cheek manner, allowing the MWEB Internet offer to be presented using cultural capital that resonates with potential consumers.
This professional campaign titled 'Witchcraft' was published in South Africa in May, 2013. It was created for the brand: MWEB, by ad agency: M&C Saatchi. This Audio medium campaign is related to the Electronics, Technology industry and contains 1 media asset. It was submitted almost 11 years ago.
