Dip 'n Ouma...

Hoe dip jy joune?

Ouma is a South African rusk made from a traditional buttermilk recipe. A well-known brand especially in the Afrikaans circle. Before we get into it though, I would like to give a massive shout-out to my ouma, who braved the winter weather to actually pose for the shoot.


This campaign got me and my copywriter a silver pendoring award early on in my career.

Dip 'n Ouma

Idea

A proudly South African ad campaign, drawing on the Afrikaans language as the main driving factor. The human-truth behind the overall concept is that each person has a unique way of dipping their Ouma rusks.


This also extends to wordplay on the word "Ouma", which in Afrikaans means Gran; and "dip" which means to dunk. A more direct translation would be "How do you dunk your Gran".

Direction

The concept allows the campaign to stretch much further than the two current adds; A strong idea with "legs".


Both adds were set up and shot by me with some photo manipulation and retouching. These were submitted to the 2010 Pendoring awards and won us a silver student award.
