Those Two is a conceptual creative advertising agency founded by Melanie Moore and Nondu Petlele. Our combined experience in the industry spans over 20 years, during which we have worked at leading advertising agencies in South Africa (including Ogilvy, VMLY&R, King James II, Machine, TBWA Hunt/Lascaris and Net#workBBDO) and collaborated on award-winning campaigns for brands such as Nando's, 1st For Women, DStv, Pick 'n Pay, and Standard Bank.

As an international and local award-winning art director and copywriter duo, we bring a wealth of expertise in digital, social, and ATL advertising to the table. Our collaborative approach enables us to offer a complete solution that leverages our skills in ideation, strategic thinking, and problem-solving.

We are a remote working team and our focus is on delivering high-quality results and exceptional customer service, regardless of location.

For someone who gets paid to play with words, I use the word “F*$k” A LOT. 


I went from 140 character limits to billions and billions and billions of unlimited words of whatever lands on my desk. Conceptual writing, ideation, social, strategy or all-round problem solving.

 

I’ve worked on some amazing brands like Nando’s, Corona, Standard Bank, Bobtail et cetera (I could’ve said “to name a few” but I wanted to spell out etc).

 

I love what I do, even though it doesn’t always love me back, but that’s okay I did a short 12 week course on “How to deal with unreciprocated love” at Red and Bleu: School of the hard knocks.
