Game, set, match. Padel isn’t just the fastest-growing sport in the world. It’s the new boardroom. Recognising this shift, we are chuffed to announce the rollout of our latest out of home (OOH) campaign, conceptualised and executed in close partnership with Attacq’s Waterfall City brand team.
Let me be clear about one thing upfront: I never set out to be a pop star. Fantasised about it, yes. Usually somewhere between my tenth beer and the closing credits of The Commitments. But I’ve never had the cheekbones, the hair, or the pelvic thrust for it. I'm an ad copywriter. Have been for 40-odd years. My job has always been to write for others. BMW’s “mouse the steering wheel” commercial, Dell, Breweries, FHM, banks, you get the picture.
In more than twenty years working across the shifting sands of design trends, one truth remains constant: Minimalist design is not a passing phase. It is a purposeful philosophy. For premium brands that understand the value of clarity, consistency and restraint, minimalism continues to offer a powerful advantage.

Students' prank leads to positive outcome “Borrowing” of Atterbury's giant Springbok jersey leads to donation to Atterbury Trust With Springbok spirit currently at a high, two Pretoria students took their enthusiasm for the Bokke campaign a bit too far. They decided to “borrow” the giant Springbok jersey that is dressed on the large Angus Taylor statue “Child of the Dust” by Atterbury Property during each Rugby World Cup tournament, for their own purposes. This renowned stone statue stands in front of the company's Clubhouse headquarters in Hazelwood, Pretoria.
My heartfelt congratulations on Twisted Toast’s 12 years in business! May your boundless creativity, innovation and professionalism multiply over years to come.
The Toast’s 12 birthday feels a bit like those Facebook friendaversaries that clap and cheer as it announces you and so-and-so have been friends for THREE YEARS! When actually you knew each other when you had pimples and braces.
As I reflect on my 21-year relationship with Kim and Louis, it occurs to me this is the longest non-family relationship I have ever had. Not without its break ups and reconciliations, we have remained together, just like a family.
Twisted Toast is 12 years old, but my relationship with its founders goes back at least twice that long. Kim and Louis, two of the most interesting people I’ve ever met; joined at the hip, yet so different in character. Kim, the doting mother, wife, organiser, boss. Louis, the bachelor, strategist, canoeist, raconteur, dreamer. Here are some memories I hold dearest.
