This is John Hunt ... ok let me start from the beginning do you know an advertising agency called TBWA\Hunt\Lascaris? If the answer its still no im sure you have seen the adverts that his company has made in the past. Remember this advert? SABC1 Welcome to Mzansi ...

Well John Hunt is a legend when it comes South African advertising and I find it hard to discribe him to someone who doesnt know him or never heard of him - so I found a paragraphy that kinda discribed him better.

John Hunt, the 48-year-old co-founder and executive creative director of TBWA\Hunt\Lascaris, South Africa, one of the most respected and award-winning shops in the world, will move to New York in April to be worldwide creative director of the $9.7 billion TBWA network, the agency said last week. "John is one of the go-to people in the network's thinking about creativity and ideas," said Clow. "We're always trying to access his resources, but geographically it was difficult. I felt that if he could be in the New York headquarters office, he could have such an impact for the talent and the ideas we're searching for." - All Business, 2003

I think this was one of the classic adverts that TBWA\hunt\Lascaris has done in the past that recieved respect world wide.

    Legendary he is, and I'm not even in advertising.

    Back when power steering was a big deal.
