Damn Right, We are not Normal | Brian Altriche (Founder : RocoMamas) and Mike Sharman (Founder : Retro Viral)

Loading player...
"Carmen Murray invited Founder Brian Altriche of RocoMamas and Mike Sharman, Founder of Retroviral to chat about the TV ad they launched that got the entire industry talking. ""advertising lies"". RocoMamas rejects any form of food styling and photoshopping and we get to dig deep into the brand and what makes this quirky brand one of the most loved restaurants in Africa. The answer will definitely not disappoint. Turns out Brian Altriche is the ""Jeff Bezos"" of South Africa and he takes us behind the scenes of this successful brand and their core values. Amazing!

What we loved about this interview is the chemistry between the client and the agency and how passionate they both are about the customer and the complete trust they have in each other. True Customer Obsession.

As RocoMamas would say ""We’re not normal and simply couldn’t just make a normal TV ad. It had to be for those who expect more, who don’t fit in a box and believe what we believe."""
