Promise en kykNET praat saam mekaar
How do you get someone to watch a television channel in a different language which they don't speak?
kykNET found that English-speaking South Africans do understand Afrikaans, but are reluctant to speak the language because of how they would sound. To help English-speaking South Africans enjoy Afrikaans content, a compromise needed to be reached. This was done through four deceivingly clever print ads in one of the most-read weekly magazines in South Africa: You Magazine.
These print ads were written in English, but when read out loud pronounce as perfect Afrikaans – proving to 6 million South Africans that even if your mother tongue is English, you can still enjoy the best in Afrikaans entertainment.
Karen Meiring, M-Net: Director kykNET Channels, comments: "This campaign encompasses the playfulness of our brand and transcends the boundaries of language. It gave us the opportunity to speak to our English viewers while grabbing the attention of a new audience."
We're an integrated through-the-line agency making clients famous with strategically sound, expertly crafted work delivered with utmost professionalism.
