KFC CHIEF MARKETING OFFICER RECEIVES LOERIES MARKETING LEADERSHIP AND INNOVATION AWARD
M Mike Middleton
ike Middleton, Chief Marketing Officer of KFC, was awarded the Marketing Leadership and Innovation Award at the Loeries award ceremony at the Durban ICC on Saturday night. One of the brand communication industry’s highest honours, the award is in recognition of the achievements of one individual over an extended period of time. Loeries CEO Andrew Human said it took brand leadership from individuals like Mike to reach KFC’s market position. “This award is designed to honour the high level of personal commitment that Mike brings to his brand. The Loeries committee
looks for sustained dedication and loyalty because we know that successful brand communication demands nothing less. It’s clear that Mike brings this to KFC.” Middleton said the best thing about the award would be sharing it with his teams at both KFC and Ogilvy. “This really is about the power of partnership and working with great people. From a personal point of view, it’s such a great accolade to be recognised for leadership and innovation in a market as creative as South Africa.” Mike began his marketing career at Unilever in 1996, moving briefly to SABMiller then Cadbury in 2006. When it was acquired by Kraft Food he became

DSTV SEMINAR OF CREATIVITY Keith Cartwright, Götz Ulmer and Pum Lefebure Keith Cartwright, Executive Creative Director, BSSP, california, usa In the DStv Seminar of Creativity’s second session, Keith Cartwright offered up five rules that have guided him over the years, along with the memorable campaigns he produced as a result. 1. Doubt Yourself “There is no high ground in this business,” said Keith, who learned this from mentors who had enough confidence to doubt themselves. “Be selfcritical. Perfection is the enemy of good, good is the enemy of great.” 2. Steal Stealing in the correct way is the lifeblood
of a creative. No idea truly belongs to you, everything has been replicated in different ways. As Picasso famously said, “Good artists copy; great artists steal.” “We’re all makers in this room, so we are all thieves. It’s admiring someone else’s work, taking from it, and learning from their process – because learning that process is the actual thing that makes you better,” Keith explained. 3. Be Stupid “I know one thing; I know nothing.” Socrates once said. Keith agrees. “Think of the most responsible way of doing it. Then do the opposite; an open mind will solve your brief.” Keith used three examples of campaigns where the brief sounded stupid – but were extremely successful:
No one cares about your tequila. So let’s not talk about it. – Tres Agave Tequila Tell parents to pay less attention to their children. – Lego We’re going to make a multi-milliondollar movie trailer for your app game. Oh, and let’s run it on the Super Bowl. – Evony: The King’s Return. 4. Fail Harder Learning from failure is imperative, Keith said, adding that he wishes creatives were more okay with failing. He used examples from his work on the Michael Jordan brand ‘Become Legendary’, which motivated athletes
WE’RE ALL MAKERS IN THIS ROOM, SO WE ARE ALL THIEVES. IT’S ADMIRING SOMEONE ELSE’S WORK, TAKING FROM IT, AND LEARNING FROM THEIR PROCESS – BECAUSE LEARNING THAT PROCESS IS THE ACTUAL THING THAT MAKES YOU BETTER
to push for greatness. It spoke to the cream of the crop who can appreciate the hard work, drive and motivation behind the Jordan brand.

THE ONE THING PEOPLE DON’T UNDERSTAND ABOUT TECHNOLOGY, AND THE REASON WHY HE DOUBTS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE WILL EVER TAKE AN AGENCY’S PLACE, IS THAT THE INSIGHT ONE RECEIVES THROUGH TECHNOLOGY IS NOT THE CREATIVE IDEA.
5. Give It All Away This point essentially brings us full circle, says Keith. Along with some friends in the creative industry, he founded a collective called Saturday Morning based on a simple quote by Dr Martin Luther King: “The most segregated hour in America is eleven o’clock on Sunday morning.” “The idea of Saturday Morning is based on the premise that if Sunday morning is going to be divided, Saturday is going to be a day of inclusion, a day of bringing us together,” says Keith.
Gotz Ulmer, Chief Creative Officer, Jung Von Matt, hamburg, germany As his second time speaking at The Loeries, Götz Ulmer is no stranger
Götz Ulmer
to Durban and offered up a hilarious, loveable and charming talk. He believes that good ideas in advertising are like a Trojan horse. “Most people are not interested in your advertising.” Rather, it needs to be wrapped up in some nice packaging. “Relevance is good,” he said, “but frippery is better.” Is technology taking over creativity and doing it better than we can? Absolutely not. “Our industry is struggling,” he explained, agencies are taking fewer risks and avoiding new things – and this is not sustainable. The one thing people don’t understand about technology, and the reason why he doubts Artificial Intelligence will ever take an agency’s place, is that the insight one receives through technology is not the creative idea. This idea is exciting, eccentric and experimental. “How can you build chaos and anarchy into a machine?” he asked. Götz also does not believe the concept of co-creation – that is, collaborating with clients on creative briefs – truly works. “You can’t really say anything truthful to clients or push boundaries,” he explained. And what about custom made or inhouse agencies? “WTF is that?!” Götz screamed as the crowd roared with laughter. “Really excellent ideas do not grow in structures like that.” It might be an old point, said Götz, but emotions are still integral to any mind-blowing campaign. “The internet is so successful because you can
literally find any emotion out there.” Entertainment, too, is important. “There are three rules for communication in this industry: entertain, support, or go down.”

FIRSTLY, YOU CATCH ATTENTION, WHILE ROMANCING IS ESSENTIALLY BEGINNING A CONVERSATION AND SEDUCING IS THE HARD PART – LIKE A FIRST DATE, IT CREATES AN AURA OF MYSTERY, ALLURE AND DESIRE FOR A BRAND.
In Pum Lefebure’s intriguing talk – focussed on the design aspects of building campaigns – she shared how one can master the art of seduction. “Design is not just cosmetic anymore,” she said, “but strategic. It’s not a journey to purchase, but rather of falling in love.” There are three aspects to falling in love, said Pum: flirting, romancing, and seducing. Firstly, you catch attention, while romancing is essentially beginning a conversation and seducing is the hard part – like a first date, it creates an aura of mystery, allure and desire for a brand. Using examples of some of the work she’s done such as rebranding City Centre DC and Georgetown Opticians through vibrant and quirky integrated campaigns, she demonstrated how seduction is all about planning. Pum touched on the concept of ‘seduction by redesign’ with her recent Milk Makeup campaign. This unique brand makes makeup application a breeze and through its exciting, woke ad campaign, it won the next generation
over by creating a community rather than just selling a product. Another example of this was with Harper Macaw, who boosted chocolate sales in the ‘off season’ by creating a limited edition selection based on the presidential campaign in the US. People voted for their favourite flavours during the election. “We made politics a bit sweeter,” she said. Her final concept in the art of seduction was to blindfold your audience with creative un-branding. This is especially useful in removing preconceptions about brands. She used the genius idea of creating a Museum of Feelings in New York for a Glade campaign. The immersive, interactive experience was completely unbranded and when people found who the company behind it was, they were gobsmacked. “Good design uses all the senses,” said Pum.

TEN YEARS OF LOERIES CREATIVE FUTURE SCHOLARSHIPS
CEO, Bean Interactive Nairobi, Loeries Digital and Interactive Communications Judge

Martin Kiarie
What are you hoping to see at the Loeries this year? Being my first year as a Judge, I was excited to review the best work from Africa and the Middle East. Someone once told me that the best way to understand a market is to look at its advertising. I believe that this year, I will not only get closer to the immense creativity in the work submitted by various markets represented, but to their cultures and nuances as well.
How would you describe the creative climate in Africa? Firstly, I don’t believe you can generalise Africa in a block like that. This is mainly because creativity is all about the value it creates to a unique consumer or cultural truth. Each country in Africa has a unique truth. That being said, I believe that in Africa one common thing is the drive for better and for more- to be the producers of the future we desire loeries ad final.pdf

and not just consumers of the situation that’s current. That ideology is the pulse of the creative climate in Africa; one that is constantly evolving and breaking category norms.
or the 10th consecutive year, the Loeries is delivering a legacy to the growth of the creative economy by awarding highlycoveted Creative Future Scholarships, exposing talented learners from disadvantaged backgrounds to the brand communication industry and helping them transform their lives with the best asset they have – their minds. “After ten years of the scholarship, I feel that giving talented young people the opportunity to build a future based on their own ideas is perhaps the most important thing that the Loeries does – and of course it’s ensuring that we have a creative future for our industry,” said Andrew Human, CEO of the Loeries. This year, two young women from KwaZulu-Natal have been awarded scholarships: Mali Khuzwayo, the Mowat Park High learner who was awarded a 1-year scholarship to Durban’s Vega School of Brand Leadership for 2017, has had it extended for a further three years from 2018, and; Zanele Biyela, currently in Grade 12 at Durban Girls
Secondary School, will commence a 3-year scholarship at the Vega School in 2018. “Both learners are exceptionally talented individuals and I hope this opportunity opens up a new world for them,” said Human. Said Khuzwayo: “In my world, few people know the creative industry so I didn’t think it would ever be possible for me to follow my passion. I really appreciate what the Loeries has done for me.” Learner Zanele Biyela said: “Without this scholarship my train to success would have been halted by financial constraints. I’m profusely grateful for this opportunity, especially to be supported and mentored by the best in the industry.” Since the Loeries moved to Durban in 2015, it has partnered with the Vega School, dedicating an annual budget of more than R1-million to the Scholarship which makes it the richest in the local creative industry. It includes tuition fees, allowances for study materials and textbooks, a computer, living expenses, transport subsidy, mentorship, internships and assistance with employment after graduation.
What breeds creativity? Necessity is the mother of invention. Creativity is bred by a desire to create a future that doesn’t exist, by constantly looking for solutions that haven’t been exploited to daily challenges that persist. This innate desire to evolve and improve is the seed of creativity.
What inspires you to create compelling, inspiring work? As players in the creative industry, my team at Bean Interactive and I are driven by the idea that we are ready to produce award-winning work that stands out on a global platform. This ideology is one that drives and motivates us to put all our fears, egos and pride aside to focus on the most promising work for our clients.
