The ‘jumping springbok’ Iced Zoo
® Biscuit is a regular in the box. By adding the headline “Go You Biscuits” it became a rallying cry for Springbok supporters around the world.
“The beauty of this idea is that we’ve always had the jumping springbok in the Iced Zoo
® Biscuit menagerie – it’s even on found on the green coloured biscuit. As an instantly recognizable idea we were able to re-ignite the kid in all of us in a nostalgic way and show support for the national rugby team,” says Nick Liatos, executive creative director at M&C Saatchi Abel Gauteng.
The ‘Bokke’ Iced Zoo
® artwork was posted online at the time of the semi-final match between the Springboks and All Blacks. It was shared across various social media platforms, with users even using the image as their profile picture.
