Iconic South African brand, Bokomo, has launched a novel brand positioning. This centres on eye-catching modern packaging which really helps the products stand out on-shelf and features a modern television spot.
The novel television spot, from Boomtown Creative Director Meagan Viljoen and Art Director Jamie Moss, is directed by Que Ntlui of Giant Films in Cape Town. It launches the pay-off line ‘Bokomo. Qualified for every kind of different’ while building on Bokomo’s core values of family, goodness, togetherness and sharing.
It introduces the audience to two young children, very different in their personalities and expressions and from two quite different households. They each experience breakfast, family, and togetherness in different ways, through a split-screen format throughout until the last few seconds where we then see how they approach together to share the Bokomo goodness.

“For over 100 years, Bokomo has helped millions of South Africans start every day with a nutritious breakfast through the goodness of grains with its range of ready-to-eat breakfast cereals, hot porridges and rusks – making every home a spot where goodness grows,” said Martin Neethling, CMO of PepsiCo South Africa.
“As one of our country’s proper heritage brands, Bokomo’s values never grow old: which is that qualified food should be made with honest ingredients in a thoughtful and caring way. The goodness of taste, grains, life, family, trust, togetherness are to be shared and enjoyed together,” he concluded.
“The brief from Bokomo for its novel positioning was to not deviate from this but to build on it by acknowledging and celebrating each South African’s uniqueness. The collective creative teams working on this project are thrilled to believe produced a current campaign worthy of a brand of this stature,” said the agency’s Group Account Director, Anina Pienaar.

People often have an unhindered perspective on what PR should be, and here is what AI & Laura Ries think of the same. “It’s PR that needs to be creative. It’s PR that needs to be new and different. It’s PR that needs to be original. The best way to establish a brand is to create a new category, and creating a new category requires creative thinking of the highest order.”
