ABOUT THE WORK
SA Youth has just the talent you need – and so does Spitfire’s Ying-Poi
When business is booming and you need a workforce, you want them good and fast. And when you need a great Director to shoot a series of commercials telling people where to find them, you need Spitfire’s Ying-Poi.
SA Youth (@sayouth.mobi) is an online portal connecting young entry-level work seekers with businesses that need them — quickly. And for their new ad campaign, Network BBDO wanted a Director with a fresh eye, loads of passion and craft, and a razor-sharp sense of timing. Ying-Poi met the job requirements perfectly.
So perfectly, in fact, that she not only shot the campaign across four locations with eight leads and countless extras over two action-packed days, she also did it while eight months pregnant. Now that’s multitasking. Just imagine what she could do for your board.
We’ve got more from this campaign coming your way. Stay tuned!
