Nelson Mandela gets a 'chav' make-over

10 June 2009

Two members of bragging and daring site Bragster.com caused havoc in London’s Parliament Square this week as they turned Nelson Mandela’s statue into a lager-swilling chav.

The pranksters said they pulled the stunt to mark the fourth anniversary of the word ‘chav’ making it into the English dictionary.

It’s not the first time members of the site have been in the London papers. Last year, the Trafalgar Square fountains had to be turned off after they were turned into a giant bubble bath by a teenager calling himself ‘Mr Bubbles’.

It’s rare that a PR campaign not only raises the profile of your business, but also helps to influence and shape the product directly. The Skywrite team really tapped into the media agenda with their witty Voice of Sat Nav campaign and moved quickly to help us sign a contract with Emma Clarke. Her new sat nav instructions are some of the most articulate we've ever recorded and have become a firm favourite of staff here. This campaign steamrolled from a great initial idea and that was fantastically executed by the team. It really did hit the key objective - helping to raising our profile in the national and consumer media.
