Drawn and quartered: Nando’s typically topical

The Sphere Agency, Melbourne has rolled out yet another quick topical ad, this one appearing in the MX magazine this morning.

First Nando’s tactical ad I’ve liked. Nicely done.
The ‘Unlike such-and-such…’ set-up feels forced and overly explained here. It might’ve worked better with just the last five words as a call to action: ‘Feel satisfied after 4 quarters’ art directed with a subtle footy visual like a Grand Final streamer or a Sherrin ball cropped off in the corner. I can’t help wondering if the original line fell prey to the old suit/client concern: ‘Yeah, but will they get it?’
Like it. And talking of an arduous shit fight with a result nobody wanted, when is tourism qld going to submit its ‘Where Australia Shines’ homage to the 1980’s?
I dig it. Well done, it definitely draws you in.
Also, 11:39 should get the prize for the most constructive criticism I have ever seen on the blog ever. I don’t think you need any subtle footy visual though… that is as obvious as the “unlike the grand final”
Funny good one!
More typically unfunny topical rubbish from Sphere. Good to see their social media skills are improving though
