South Africa makes its mark at One Show 2025 with 18 finalists. Here’s the work.
The One Show has revealed its 2025 finalists, and South Africa again shows up with 18 for the second year in a row. Finalists include local agencies and production companies: Joe Public, TBWA\Hunt Lascaris, Bananas, Promise, Darling Films, Carbon Films, and Enpower Trading. These finalists await the final Pencil decisions, which will be announced during Creative Week in New York on May 15. All finalists will win Gold, Silver, Bronze Pencils or Merits. Go team SA!
If you or your company worked on any of these projects and your credits are not added it means you’re not a member of IDIDTHAT, which is tragic because you are one of the best in your field and nobody knows about it.

Devaksha & Danike SAID THAT
Copywriter Devaksha Vallabhjee and art director Danike de Jager have spent almost a decade moving through the industry side by side, from Ogilvy to AndPeople, King James (now Accenture), Saatchi & Saatchi, Duke and now FCB. We caught up with the long-time creative partners to talk about how ideas get made, what they're looking for in director treatments, the South African work they wish they'd done, and why protecting a great idea is often the hardest part of the job.
