Goodbye Citi shortlisted for a Cannes Lions 2010 Award

Silver Bullet Productions, in association with Egg Films and Ogilvy South Africa, was recently shortlisted for a Cannes Lion for their work on the successful  'Goodbye Citi' campaign.

As millions of South Africans will no doubt remember, the day that Volkswagen first announced they were discontinuing the Citi Golf, after nearly 25 years of production, it marked a milestone in our country's history. For more than two decades, the Citi has served as the car of the people, and still remains, to this day, the best selling car in our country's history. It's a South African icon, with an undeniable place in our cultural history. The jingle alone had the nation humming, "Red, yellow, blue", well into the nineties.
