If you’ve been to Nando’s, you know Peri-Peri is the beating heart of the global restaurant chain. When asked to create a radio campaign, we said yes to the radio assignment, then set about looking for inexpensive ways to leverage the buy.
The result? Neville Fenton Haversham, the host of “The 30-second Meal Minute.” A high-strung, pompous yet charming food critic who can’t get enough of Nando’s “pedestrian” fare. Someone discerning, demanding, charismatic. And completely invented.

Luckily, there was an ENTIRE collection of stock photography devoted to this guy. “Neville” could be seen dining, driving, answering e-mail, even swimming!
