Autotrader SA
AutoTraderSA does it big with Spitfire and Katlego.🚗
Do it big? Spitfire Director Katlego Baaitse doesn’t do it any other way. Big stories, larger than life characters, extra loud art direction and sets, massive entertainment. And always with big results.✨
So it stands to reason that when AutoTrader and their agency Retroviral wanted to go big with their new campaign of commercials, they wanted Katlego to do it big for them. With energy so BIG, personalities like your rich Auntie, the Big Dawg and his Big Big Dog, the dope Dad and your “It Girl” take fun to the next level – each bigger than the one before, and each with the same laser focus: buying or selling their car for the best deal fast, through AutoTrader. It’s styling, sets, performance and humour … for days!
So now’s the time to treat yourself. Give Spitfire a call today and let’s talk about how Katlego can do it big for you too. For days!

When it comes to the crunch, Bongani Morgan delivers every time.
Spitfire Director Bongani Morgan is on a serious roll. Fresh from his earlier work for Bokomo, and more recently for Iwisa No.1 and Airtel Tanzania, Bokomo’s agency Boomtown once again called on Bongani to bring his talent to the table in promoting their toastier, crunchier corn flakes.🎬
Whoa! Feel the earth move? That was Bongani ploughing all his energy into bringing Boomtown’s board to life. 💥And also – truth be told – because Bokomo Corn Flakes are now extra toasty, which means they’re crunchier too. A lot crunchier. Cue breakfast time as, from the first spoonful, our young hero shakes things up for her playmates with every bite. With some inspired casting, outstanding lighting and his trademark flair for humour, Bongani captures the charm of the moment beautifully, and still has time to call for competition entries.
Need someone to shake things up for your idea? Call Spitfire today and we’ll put you in touch with Bongani Morgan. We guarantee he’ll move heaven and earth for you too.

Crunch time never looked this good. 🎬
We’re BTS with 3 of our favourite B’s - Bongani Morgan, Boomtown, and BOKOMO. The crunch was crisp, the vibes were golden, and breakfast was seriously bringing it.
Working with this cast and crew is *chef’s kiss* 🤌

Behind every No. 1 story is a No. 1 cast, crew, and client. 🎥
We had a blast with Bongani Morgan Retroviral Agency and IWISA No1 cooking up some Mzansi-style storytelling centred around competition, stywe pap, and a whole lotta heart.
Ngiyabonga to the team for making magic happen. Here’s to turning every idea into No. 1.

Cooking with Iwisa No. 1.
To be number one, you need the right director. Bongani Morgan gets cooking with Iwisa No. 1.
Iconic maize brand Iwisa No.1 has been feeding – and bringing together – South Africans from all walks of life since 1956. 🥣 And to show just what an indelibly delicious part of life Iwisa No.1 is, their agency Retroviral conceived an extended spot introducing us to two particularly competitive neighbours, both striving to be number 1 at creating the family favourite.
A Director swiftly becoming known for his talent for storytelling and performance directing, Spitfire’s Bongani Morgan was the perfect choice for Retroviral to showcase this truly South African cook-off. Bongani’s directing style puts humour front and centre as the two neighbours keep raising the taste stakes – in this case perfecting their samp and stywe pap – to win over their family and friends. And, as the competition hots up, the eventual winners are … everyone who uses Iwisa No. 1.
You don’t get more South African than Iwisa No.1. And you don’t get a director who brings more taste, authenticity and fun to the table than Bongani Morgan. Call us today and let’s get Bongani to cook up a treatment that makes your idea number 1 too.

Tanzania’s biggest stars join forces with Spitfire as Airtel goes full Platinumz.🌟🌟
What is it that Tanzanians would welcome more than anything in these trying economic times? A little more money in their pockets.💵 Which is how mobile network Airtel and their agency KhangaRue came up with the idea of creating a brand new collaboration guaranteed to have instant fans. A collaboration between one of Tanzania’s biggest stars, Diamond Platnumz, and a particularly well-loved character, Mr Money, with instant benefits for consumers.
Bringing this extraordinary news to the market took one of Spitfire’s own biggest stars: Director Bongani Morgan. The freshness and crazy humour of Bongani’s directing style resulted in an exhilarating piece of work that takes entertainment to a whole new level. Beginning with cryptic teasers announcing a secret collaboration, the main commercial reveals the collaboration in spectacular fashion while hammering home the benefits for customers in a way that has them calling for more.
Looking for a star to help you reap the rewards you deserve? Contact Spitfire right now and we’ll get Bongani to put your board in the spotlight. We’re pretty sure you’ll be impressed by our own Mr Money too.

A blinging BTS ft. Diamond Platnumz and Mr Money ✨
For our shoot with Airtel Tanzania, we knew we needed a blend of star power and storytelling, and that's exactly what our director Bongani Morgan brought to life.
Big love to the whole team that made it happen. We’ve got more exciting projects on the way but for now, enjoy these BTS snaps. 🎬
What does Africa taste like?
According to Lojay Music, the answer is pure vibes… Bottled up in the bold new Coca-Cola #CocaColaWozzaah Naija edition.
Directed by the one and only @paulramaema, this campaign brings Africa’s flavour, culture, and undeniable spark to life.✨
Ready to #Wozzaah?

Paul Ramaema directs Coca-Cola #Wozzaah – Naija edition – featuring global musical sensation Lojay Music.✨🎵
“If you had to ask what Africa tastes like, what would your answer be?” asks Lojay, one of Nigeria’s biggest Afro Fusion stars, in Paul Ramaema’s latest work for Coca-Cola and their agency Promise.
The answer would be “Coca-Cola Wozzaah”, Coke’s newest flavour inspired by Africa’s boundless creativity.
And if you had to ask who the perfect director would be to travel north to capture this latest dynamic collaboration, the answer’s right in front of you. Equally inspired by Africa’s creativity and following on from his work for Coca-Cola Wozzaah earlier this year, Paul again pulled out all the stops to shoot a piece that whets the appetite for more without giving too much away – and brings the spirit of Coca-Cola Wozzaah to life.✨
So, let’s ask another question: If you had to choose a director for your next board who’s both inspired and hits the mark, what would your answer be? Contact Spitfire now and find out.

We asked the Spitfire team which movie made them cry recently (besides Relebohile Thianye, who apparently uses her tears sparingly), and we’re ugly crying just thinking about some of these! 😭💔
Drop your tear-jerkers in the comments below!
Looks like Bongani Morgan's been eating the breakfast of champions! 🥣✨ He’s scooped two awards at the 2024 Assegai Integrated Marketing Awards for his brilliant work with Boomtown on Bokomo Oats. 🏆
As one of Spitfire’s newer recruits, Bongani is already making cereal-ously big waves (we couldn’t resist 🥄), and we couldn’t be prouder! A huge shoutout to him and everyone who brought this charming commercial to life. Here’s to many more wins ahead! 💪👏

Common wisdom says you should never make eye contact while eating a banana… But they didn’t say anything about Russians from Eskort Food. 👀
In the latest Eskort escapade, Paul Ramaema and MetropolitanRepublic serve up a sizzling scene starring Celeste Ntuli, who takes snack time to steamy new heights.
