CNA is one of South Africa¹s largest retailers selling everything from CDs and DVDs to books, games, toys, computer software and even cell phones. They pride themselves on being the retailer who literally has everything under one roof. Thus The Jupiter Drawing Room Johannesburg decided to use a series of radio commercials to highlight the extent of their range of products. So what if they could take the stars, the people behind the music, books, movies or software the ads are based on and find an interesting way to show that they exist all in one place?

The worst such fire in recent memory was started by a carelessly discarded cigarette. The commercial plays on how much smokers love their cigarettes while they're smoking, but don't give much thought to where they discard them. The appeal to smokers is simple; Please don't leave your loved ones behind.

The Challenge for Saatchi & Saatchi Johannesburg: Convince women that Olay's range of skin care products will give them skin they can be proud of.The Thinking: The well-known truth is that, as women,we lie about our age. Often. The lesser known truth is that we hate lying about our age. Mostly because we know lying is just plain wrong. And secondly, because in the back of our minds, a tiny little voice is saying, "Do you really think they bought it?"The Solution: We created giant 'look at me' statements. We then placed these structures, 2 metres in height, on the front lawns of homes in high traffic areas in residential estates. To the passers by, it seems as if the lady of the house is so proud of what she looks like that she wants to tell the world how old (or young) she really is. No lies. Olay

Saatchi & Saatchi Johannesburg had to convince people that Makita drills are high-precision power tools. The Thinking: Can one power drill be more precise than another? Yes. Makita drills are ergonomically designed to fit perfectly in any hand. They rotate at an optimal speed to minimise vibration. And they have a “shock buffer” system that ensures the perfect pressure of the drill bit point on any surface. So really, a Makita drill goes exactly where you want it to. The Solution: They drilled over 20,000 holes into a wall to create a huge black and white image of, well, a Makita drill.
