Blitzboks will shake this off quicker than you can say ‘fraud’ - Bruce Whitfield
Every week The Money Show’s Bruce Whitfield asks branding and advertising expert Andy Rice to share with him the week’s advertising “heroes” and “zeroes”.
This week, Rice critiqued a billboard by conservation organisation “BirdLife” pronouncing “We love to see our skylines filled with cranes”.

Not the kinds that Sandton is famous for, but this one:
Rice gave the BirdLife billboard a “hero” rating.
This week’s “zero” goes to failed sponsorships such as the one of the Blitzboks by Steinhoff.
For more detail; listen to the interview in the audio below (and/or scroll down for quotes from it).

Andy Rice
