Every year, Loeries brings our industry to Cape Town. And in just two years, IDIDTHAT HOUSE has become the place to find each other, catch up properly, meet someone new and remember why we love this industry. Preferably with a drink and chippy in hand.
Our very first SHE DID THAT party and what a way to start. A room full of brilliant women, a whole lot of magic and one very good time. See all the pics.
Our biggest IDIDTHAT HOUSE party yet, across three venues and with one hell of a crowd. The pics are in. Go find yourself (and see what everyone else got up to).
Four panels. Two days. Some of the industry’s biggest names talking honestly about the stuff we should all be talking about. See what went down upstairs in the Nedbank Loft. See all the pics.
Two days, one HOUSE and a whole lot of the industry coming and going. Coffees, catch-ups, industry chats, ice creams and familiar faces everywhere. See all the pics from IDIDTHAT HOUSE.
Another month, another round of work that made our judges sit up a little straighter. For the November IDIDTHAT Craft Awards, we handed the reins to two heavyweights: Suhana Gordhan, Chief Creative Officer at LoveSong, and multiple-time Best in Craft winner Hayden Brown, director and cinematographer at 7 Films. After sifting through the country’s sharpest craft, they crowned this month’s Best in Craft: Thina Zibi from Triple Story Content and Zee Ntuli from Darling Films. Congrats on the top spot, you two, beautifully done.
The Stormers’ new commercial, ‘Breathe’, takes South African sports advertising on a very different route. Created by agency Bananas and Sunny Futures alongside director Anton Visser of Patriot, the ad plays as a rallying anthem from Cape Town to its team, with the city itself cast as the beating heart behind them. It positions Cape Town’s people as co-players, showing that when the Stormers run out, they carry the breath, energy, and spirit of the city with them.
Rappers, skaters, designers, metalheads, toymakers and nail pimps all come together in Sam Coleman’s electric new anthem for KFC and agency Ogilvy South Africa.
This month’s IDIDTHAT.co Craft Awards were judged by Shane Forbes, Executive Creative Director at TBWA Hunt Lascaris, and Justice Mukheli, Director at Romance Films.

Director Thati Pele’s road to 2023 has been eventful and, at times, contradictory. Recently known for her directing work on the Netflix teen drama ‘Blood and Water’ and the original series ‘Savage Beauty’, Thati is now switching gears from longform to continue again as a commercial filmmaker. With a proven track record as a strong storyteller and a Volkswagen campaign that showcased her versatility in both performance and comedy, Thati has joined Patriot Films where she is destined to craft stand-out commercial work.
