Careers24 Creative by Spacepatrolcar
The cadets at SpacePatrolCar wished to illustrate exactly how quickly and easily you can now upload your CV with the new technology at Careers24. Up until today, one of the primary hurdles of any job listings portal is the inordinate amount of time it takes to upload and format your CV. But not with Careers24.
This aspect of ‘time-saving’ became central to the new Careers24 CV Upload campaign (which launched 11 August). To add the unexpected, the space cadets created a french-speaking hard boiled egg who draws comparisons between uploading your CV and a variety of real-world occurrences – such as “Upload your CV in the time it takes for Google to launch a new product” … or “Upload your CV in the time it took Paris Hilton to get out of jail.”
The eye catching hard boiled french-speaking egg appears on the rich media banner activation (and you simply have to click on him!), as well as on the promotional mailers and microsite – where you can also win R 7500 cash and help your friends get in on the action.
Job hunting has never been this fun. To view one of the Banner ads please click here: http://www.spacepatrolcar.com/Careers24/CVUpload/
The Spacestation
THE SPACESTATION, South Africa’s leading digital media sales company, is an innovative partnership between 24.com, MIH Internet Africa and DSTV online, all members of the Naspers group. Replacing 24.com Sales, THE SPACESTATION provides advertisers and media planners with an enhanced, single point of access through which to increase the reach and effectiveness of their online and mobile marketing.
With the launch of this new company, they have launched a new site including a game to teach users of all the properties under their banner. The game has quite a nice styling although it’s not the most tricky in the world. The basic concept is you have to travel between all the different advertising platforms (Woman24, News24 etc) using the Spacestation rocket before you run out of fuel. If you do run out of fuel you have to answer questions relating to the company to receive more. Definitely a nice way to teach users about their offerings.

It’s quite a good move from the media giant as they can now offer cross sales from different platforms and divisions. They’ve also included the offering from Spacepatrolcar (headed up by Clint Bryce), which is to produce great creative as well. Click through for more of the brand identity work. We’re not sure who did the work, but we’re assuming it was the Spacepatrolcar guys. Read more…
Interview with Clint Bryce – Space Patrol Car
Our feature of the day is most certainly our interview with one of the most respected men I’ve ever met in the digital space. Clint Bryce is the head honcho at Space Patrol Car, a division of 24.com. He’s also paid his dues at some of the earliest and most pioneering studios in South Africa.
We got him to answer some questions about hiring creative talent in South Africa, the role that agencies play and also that whole thing with the Windhoek banners on the News24 election site. He also waxes lyrical about that curse… the banner ad.
But let’s get him to answer the questions. Read more…

The cadets at Space Patrol Car have been working late through the nights to bring you The Perfect Mix: a game that puts you behind the bar. The challenge is to pour the perfect Bombay Sapphire gin and tonic to put you inline to win a hamper filled with premium goodies each day. But you need to be sharp – adding too much will only cause spillage and adding too little .. well that’s your problem. Get mixing at here.
