KRONK video for NIKE
Yeah so we’re a bit late on this one – the agency TRIGGER has already spread the news wide and far for the KRONK/NIKE campaign.
The essence of the campaign is to Bleed Your Colours – we see the country literally bleeding its colours together with a chaotic mascot running through the streets. Ninja style. NIKE teamed up with KRONK for this collaboration, with Kronk doing his typically awesome character style. This video featured above is the final set in the campaign. While it wasn’t done by Kronk (we think…), it does feature all the creative elements that Kronk did for the Nike campaign.
Anyone spot any location references there?

Check out these sick illustrations done for the Design Indaba Designs Fights campaign. It’s still a “coming soon” splash page, but if the current character illustration is anything to go by, it should be a pretty awesome site!
It seems to be a pretty new style as well – not something we’ve seen in South Africa yet so we’d like to know… Who Dunnit?
EDIT:
This Who-Dunnit has been solved – the agency’s responsible are Jupiter Drawing Room and Wicked Pixels. Please note that there is a considerably long discussion around the originality about this work below.
