‘Testi-monials’ notched up a total of six awards including three Golds, two Silvers and one Bronze.
It was created to remove the awkwardness around and drive awareness for testicular cancer. Featuring animated testicles giving ‘testi-monials’ about cancer and how they have been personally affected, it also gave advice on how to self-examine and help detect signs and symptoms.
“’Testi-monials’ was not a safe campaign by a long shot,” said FCB Africa Group CEO and Group Chief Creative Officer, Brett Morris. “But it proved to be the right response to the challenge of getting men comfortable about talking about the disease.
“Congratulations to the brave folk at FCB Cape Town and CANSA, and of course to the talented artists and professionals at Hellocomputer,” he said.
“Well done, too, to those teams working on the other campaigns for which FCB agencies won awards – FCB Cape Town and Hellocomputer in their own right, and FCB Joburg. Loeries is always a tough competition to do well in with only the best of the best work making it to the podium, so it’s a great achievement to have your work singled out for reward.”
