Virgin Atlantic innaugral offer

Virgin launched their operations in Kenya with a discounted offer to London. The day they announced the offer also happened to be April o1. This one came on a silver platter, and it worked very well. Of course someone insisted on a follow-up ad for the following day!

Kenchic Easter ad

Did this one last year at Y&R Nairobi, for Kenya's most famous kuku. For my non-Kenyan readers, kuku is Swahili for chicken.

Safaricom Credit Card Top-Up (Inserted in different newspaper pages)

Did this back in 2005 at Redsky (K). Was junior writer then. The forest floor of logos down there was a client mandatory. Still, they did not buy the ad, they ran one last year (yes, 2 years after the brief) with a very big Visa logo.

Safaricom blood donation drive ad

Did this ad while at Redsky (K) in 2006. A look at the actual Kenyan flag will make it clear to non-Kenyan readers. Ha, this ad finally won an award! Gold at the Scangroup awards December 2007. My AD from the Redsky days, Jesse Munene (one of the best around, IMO) collected the award. The ad finally ran on February 7th in the Daily Nation, so they might enter it in this year's APA awards. Will they give me writer credits, seeing that I now work for bitter rivals Y&R? Wacha tuone!
