Kantar Millward Brown announces South Africa's Top 10 Best Liked Ads for Q1 and Q2 2016
Kantar Millward Brown's Best Liked Ads list celebrates South Africa's favourite TV commercials. These are the ads that have been rated as the best liked by the South African audience whom we believe to be the most important critic - the person who ultimately chooses to buy your brand or not.
Humour, cute kids and slice-of-life stories continue to engage viewers. In #1 spot for both quarters, we see global ads for Lays and Samsung hitting the mark with local audiences, as well as another three global ads for Samsung, Coke and Cadbury making the list.
The Samsung ads are part of a global campaign that tells touching and familiar stories where Samsung devices create purposeful and emotional experiences. Similarly, the Coke ad is also part of a global campaign, “Taste the Feeling”, that features a series of vignettes bringing to life the idea that drinking Coca-Cola is a simple pleasure that makes everyday moments more special.
To read more about ad transference, read our latest Point of View, Ads that travel well begin with an insight.
