Retro Glam Meets Fast Delivery
In the latest installment of their vibrant ad campaign, Takealot delivers an unforgettable dose of colour and humour in a commercial titled “The Entertainer”. Shot by Johannesburg-based boutique production company, They Films, the ad highlights the fast and frequent deliveries Takealot is known for, all while playing up a fun, retro-modern aesthetic.
La Luna: A Retro Dream Transformed by Colour and Props
Set against the backdrop of La Luna, a striking location in Constantia, the ad transforms the exterior of the property into a 70s Malibu-style home. With pastel pink and yellow walls, a glistening swimming pool, and swaying palm trees, the magic of production design takes over, turning the space into a colourful, dreamlike setting that perfectly complements the lighthearted narrative.
Inside, the protagonist—a glamorous woman with curlers in her hair—takes center stage, rapping to a playful remix of Busta Rhymes’ Gimme Some More, as she gleefully receives a series of Takealot deliveries. With each ring of the doorbell, she embraces the convenience of fast and frequent delivery, with products arriving one after another. The bright, contrasting colours and retro-modern furniture add to the quirky and fun vibe, creating a nostalgic yet fresh look.
They Films: Leading the Way in South African Commercial Production
The ad was expertly shot by They Films, a boutique commercial production company based in Johannesburg. Known for their creative flair and diverse pool of talent, They Films consistently ranks among South Africa’s top production companies. Their team took full advantage of La Luna’s versatile interiors and exterior spaces, transforming the property into a fun and imaginative setting. The playful contrast of colours and plush décor is a testament to the company’s ability to bring out the best in any location.
