When Ogilvy heard about two men who targeted KFC branches as fake food inspectors to get free meals, the story – which later proved to be fake itself – inspired a three-part documentary-style campaign for their client detailing the “investigation” that followed. And Katlego’s storytelling skills and talent for comedy were immediately put on the case.
“The KFC PI Diaries” follows top Private Investigator Beckett Mathunzi as he pulls out all the stops to find the dastardly culprit, the clues mounting up as he gets closer and closer to solving the mystery. Like, really close. Fantastic casting, quirky and understated comedic timing and editing and a Coen brothers-inspired shooting style makes for a riveting and hilarious crime investigation “whodunnit”.
And with the three films achieving over three million views within three days, it seems we’re not the only ones to think so.
So if you’re looking for answers for your concept idea and need a razor sharp mind to crack the case, contact Spitfire and we’ll get Katlego onto it. Because all the evidence points to a brilliant result.

Tackling nine world champions head on takes more than just supreme confidence. It take a singular talent along with vast experience gained over many years. Plus a deep respect for the extraordinary men who, in 2019, raised the greatest cup in rugby. All of which Spitfire Director AK has, and more.

Exploring just what it takes to reach such dizzying heights is the powerful concept behind this campaign for FNB, created by Grid Worldwide. Getting inside the players’ heads, inside the Change Room, and then coaxing out those moments that changed lives – and history – is the kind of challenge AK relishes.

The result is a campaign that captures the intensity and commitment of these legends with a masterful mix of sensitivity and aggression. So if you haven’t worked with AK yet, maybe it’s time you changed things up. Contact Spitfire today. Because there’s always room.

For African Bank, the difference is in Spitfire.
Creating impactful work is the Spitfire difference. Creating impactful work beautifully is Spitfire Director JT’s difference. Which is why Known Agency, and their client African Bank, awarded JT their exciting new “The Difference is in You” campaign.A one-day shoot with a cast of 12 and a crew of 21 to create one 45” edit with seven cutdowns takes some fancy footwork. And JT’s becoming famous for his lit moves – his ability to get great performances and create amazingly engaging work in record time. While the fantastic collaboration between the full team at Spitfire, Known Agency and African Bank is what, in the end … made all the difference.We’d love to make a difference to your work too.

MTV underwent a brand refresh in 2021 and we were approached by MTV Base to create new idents for the channel. They wanted something that was fresh and highlighted different dance cultures across the African continent.

"The lock down has really brought out many mixed emotions.
The one that I can say for sure regarding our president is pride.
This may seem crazy but the reason I am posting this video today is because I feel that Covid and Cyril might be a bit like The Rugby World Cup.
It’s is a great unifier and shows the empathy that we have for each other as a country. And that makes me feel proud, the same way we all felt proud and celebrated in the streets together when we, against all odds. Won the RWC in 95, 2007 and 2019!
Thank you to Grid and FNB for entrusting us with this project that superseded all our expectations.
May we all be together celebrating in the streets again in the near future"

Women changing the world team up to create greatness. Don’t change who you are. Change the world. It’s this powerful message that FNB’s latest commercial in their new “Bank of #TheChangeables” campaign needed to communicate. And one that all of us at Spitfire identified with immediately due to our longstanding commitment to growing new talent in the industry. The fact that the ad was to feature the Springbok Women’s team made it all the more enticing for Spitfire’s newest Director, Hloni Ntsooa.
Co-directing with Spitfire co-founder AK, and working closely with FNB Agency Grid Worldwide, Hloni focussed on exploding the outdated expectations of what a woman is expected to do or become with powerful imagery of these fearless women taking apart the hackneyed stereotypes of the past.
Ballet? The Springbok Women dance to a different tune. So do Hloni and Spitfire. Give us a call today to find out how we can help change the world with you.
