Nando’s goes for quick radio ad focused on Britney’s miming
The Sphere Agency has raced to air with another topical radio ad for Nando’s.
On this occasion, the ad riffs on today’s news stories that Britney Spears will be lip-synching during her Australian tour. The script:
Client: Nando’s
Product: Britney Topical
Title: Miming
Length: 30 seconds
VO: And now we present Britney Spears endorsing Nando’s…
SFX: Silence/Microphone buzz
VO: Nando’s sincerely apologises for the lack of audio, but it seems Britney was miming this ad. We suggest putting YOUR mouth to much better use, by eating Nando’s deliciously fresh Portuguese PERi-PERi chicken at your local Nando’s restaurant today.
Nando’s – Truly enlightened Portuguese dining.
VO (off mic): Britney, interested in a game of charades?
The Sphere Agency’s previous topical stunts for Nando’s have included hijacking the Bruno premiere.

Nice work! On the miming front – how come professional musical casts can manage
to sing AND dance their way through a two-hour show?? Time to get game fit Britty
or drop the ticket price accordingly… perhaps anyway that has already PAID for her
albums should get a discount as they’ve subsidised much of the show??

Lols – gotta admire that speed of response. Have these gone to air yet? Are they national? Anyone know?

Hi Nando’s fan – yes, across Austereo by the looks of it: FOX FM, 2DAY FM, SA FM, B105 and 92.9FM.
Cheers,

Nando’s should buy some Gold Coast radio then. 500,000 ppl here, not going to hear it..

who cares that it’s not stunningly creative. There should be more like it. this is advertising that works because it makes you stop and listen

Hope they’ve got their lawyers ready. We all know ‘Britney Spears’ is a brand and hopefully Nando’s has recognised that before clearly mentioning her name in their advertisement.

The same style adverts does get tiring…like the Comm Bank advertising/marketing pitch ads…
