G Man The AdMan

It's another big advertising week and Grant has some big dogs in the studio. Sibusiso Sitole and Xola Nouse talk about the new kid on the advertising agency block and they have a big announcement that they are breaking on the show! Also, they know some people who won big in Cannes so they might be making an international call...

It's Youth Day Eve and G Man is talking to some young uns who have done some pretty big advertising things in their short time in the game. He will be facilitating a turn-up with Thapelo Manyelo, Tshepo Mosoeu and Khanyi Mpumlwana... three young, explosive minds from FCB Africa. The 'Lit'-eratti is in the stu!

G Man spends some time with commercial director Mzi Kumalo. They chat about ads, Cannes, account moves, what it's like to live on set food and of course laugh and talk a bunch of crap in between.

Advertising has been responsible for launching a whole slew of careers. Many an actor, musician and all-round entertainer have found advertising to be their springboard to great things. In this edition, G Man is hanging out with comedians and former admen Loyiso Madinga, Donovan Goliath and The Napsta. There'll be laughs, there'll be banter... but mostly laughs.

It's been an interesting couple of days in the land of ad. A few pieces of communication that have surfaced in the media recently have had people asking, "Kanti, what the actual f*ck?". Guests are Commercial Director and former ECD, Brett Wild and Zwelakhe Zee Tshabangu, the dope creative talent that is also the ECD of DashBoard Africa.

It's the second edition of G Man The AdMan - everything you need to know about the advertising industry. Grant Sithole hangs out with Festus Masekwameng, the brains behind the iconic SABC One campaign, 'Take Another Look at Mzansi'. They chat about his role in the advertising industry, how he got in and his new role as creative leader of MKT Media. Grant also discusses plagiarism in the ad industry and the Coronation/Tangerine debacle.

It's in your home everyday, during your morning drive to work, on the bus, even inside your pizza box. We sure do love advertising (sure, sometimes it makes us cringe), so hang out with Grant Sithole alongside some of the guys and girls behind the ads you love and sometimes loathe.
