Like the folk in ‘Better Ads For All’ affirm, it’s few and far between that an ad plays that you actually don’t mind watching. However, when a TVC is done well, it’s something special. 2012 has brought some beautifully shot, entertaining and clever TV commercials to our screens.
The TV category has always been highly debated on 10and5 and it’s not often that everyone agrees on a favourite, but, these are the ads that we think got it right.
The Jupiter Drawing Room and Bouffant for the Loerie Awards SABC highlight show.
