Nando’s Reminds Us All To Vote In This Brilliantly Non-Partisan Ad


In the final week before the US election, more brands were actively taking sides. Case in point: the CEO of Expensify emailed 10 million customers to tell them to vote for Biden.

No stranger to taking a stand, this time Nando’s stuck with what could have been a tired reminder for people to go and vote. Instead, they launched their secret “undemocratic meal”, which let people place an order where Nando’s could choose what they get. It didn’t end well. The message? Don’t let someone else vote for you. Make your own decisions.
