Zuma and Manto Contribute to ‘Viral’ Condom Campaign

ProntoHee hee. A smart guy in Cape Town called Willem van Rensburg has invented a very slick condom / condom package combination – he’s aptly called his brainchild Pronto Condoms.

Not only is the product itself pretty innovative and original, but the marketing campaign is equally as brilliant. Willem’s produced two short video clips – one with ‘Jacob Zuma’ as the star and another with Manto (can you spell her surname??) T-M – demonstrating the versatility of the new product.

The campaign, which must’ve cost a pittance, is all over emails and blogs everywhere. Ironic that a campaign for condoms should be so viral. Hmmm…

Well done to Willem and team!

Update: Should’ve credited Jon Cherry – he was first to write about Pronto (as is always the case…) Sorry Jon!

  1. [...] Mike Stopforth pointed me to a really funny viral marketing campaign in South Africa.  It picks up on the very serious issues of Aids, Condoms and Politics.  Jacob Zuma and Manto Tshabalala-Msimang are both significant figures in South African Politics.  If you don’t know about them, just follow the links to the BBC stories above. [...]

  2. Yip, also got it from CherryFlava and medical blogged it :) Brilliant campaign. Are these things available in store yet? The grip-and-rip mechanism is, well, quick.
