Every week The Money Show’s Bruce Whitfield asks branding and advertising expert Andy Rice to share with him the week’s advertising “heroes” or “zeroes”.
This week Rice critiqued Pick n Pay’s weak attempt at Nando’s-style humour.
Pick n Pay dug themselves a hole, then jumped into it… They went in rather bluntly… Social media lit up!
— Andy Rice, branding and advertising expert
Nando’s was very restrained – it’s all the more powerful because of that… Nando’s is more in charge of cultural communication than Pick n Pay.
— Andy Rice, branding and advertising expert
