I believe our work demonstrated an understanding of the place that the Mr Price Home occupies in the hearts and minds of South Africans and the importance of customer experience. There are exciting times ahead.’

process, it was clear that THB’s consumer insight-driven approach to delivering strategic creative was what we were looking for. Our optimism requires next-level thinking and a commitment to the customer experience that is both informed and inspired. THB’s approach was delightfully refreshing, and we’re looking forward to a powerful partnership. In a year filled with such uncertainty, we’re thrilled to join forces with an agency of passionate thinkers who, much like us, believes there really is no place like home.’
