Nando’s is renown for brilliantly timed ads that are shameless targetted at current affairs with a sense of humour and boldness that is unchallenged in the world of advertising. This is the latest TV ad that takes a direct swing at Cell C and Trevor Noah’s “CEO” campaign and I think that its another brilliant ad by my favourite fast-food outlet.
Nando’s have always had witty ads and tend be super quick with their campaigns. Their latest print ad screams advertising genius and again their marketing agency, whoever they are, need to patted on the back for the brilliance of the ad.

Load-shedding is on everyones lips nowadays along with Zimbabwe and petrol prices. With all this misfortune going on, I must admit that i have been VERY impressed at ideas that South Africans have come up with. Besides the usual Zapiro pencil sketch, I have seen tons of hilarious emails knocking these problems. Not to mention the 1000’s of hilarious Zuma emails doing the rounds!
The company that stands out most for brilliant turn arounds with their ads is Nandos. Currently running the ad of the Bafana Bafana fan kicking the ball, and his boots are too big so it ends up going in the wrong direction!
This ad below is just one of the many hilarious Nandos ads. Please watch it to the end for the punch line, you will LOVE it!
