Pep SA. A campaign with cheeky wins

Fun, quirky, informative social ad copy for Pep South Africa’s “Who Else?” campaign. The kind of lines that that actually beat a price tag at its own game.

01 – The brief

Be the line that stops the scroll.

“Who Else?” is Pep’s quietly cheeky little flag-plant: who else gives you everyday essentials at prices like this? The ads needed to land that with a wink. We wrote a run of cheeky little ads, each one a small idea you’d actually stop scrolling for.

Each ad balanced fun, quirky and informative. A hook to earn the scroll-stop, a clear product or promise in the middle, and the same friendly “PEP. Who else? #PEPWhoElse” landing on every single one. A campaign of small writes, one consistent voice.
