OLX Thematic
Whilst the ‘Sell It Show’ was incredibly successful, OLX wanted to move away from the more tactical & comedy based commercials and make something that shows a warmer side of the OLX experience – To show the real life benefits of OLX. So What’s Good Studios wrote and produced a series of commercials that were more emotive, rather than tactical.
