The Soft Life in Africa
A friend received this e-mail from a friend in Zim and sent me this picture and story which I thought was delightful.

They had been away at a game park and on the first evening, while sitting in front of the fire in the bar, in walked a fully grown warthog. He walked over to the bar and without a word the barman handed him a pillow.

He took the pillow in his mouth, dropped it next to the fire and promptly lay down with his head on the pillow and went to sleep where, apparently, he spends the cold nights.

In the morning he's off into the bush again. My friend says that if the barman isn't there, he'll just grab a pillow off one of the couches.

Here he is, in all his glory:

Getting To Know You - Abbi Bridge - Media Strategist - Notabene CT

 

Abbi

What did you study and how did you get into the industry?
I studied a B.Com in economics and philosophy and I did my post grad diploma in marketing management; both at UCT. I got into the industry more by luck than anything else. My mom was a rep for Caxton and one of her clients was Mindshare in Johannesburg, who were starting a graduate internship. I applied for the internship, got it, and began the journey towards becoming a media strategist.

Getting To Know You - Mpho Mahura - Copywriter At The Jupiter Drawing Room, JHB

 

Mpho

How did you get into the industry? What did you study?
When I used to watch movies on TV, I would normally predict the ending of the movie before the movie actually ended. So the one thing that still kept me entertained were the ad breaks which inspired me to go to the Red and Yellow school of Logic and Magic in Cape Town to learn how to make my own 30 second movies. I studied copywriting.

What drives and inspires you?
Coming up with exciting new ideas. The conceptual part of advertising is my favourite - and then seeing my idea come to life is the cherry on top.
