It won the Eskom account in July 2007, then the Vodacom Retail account in April this year. Draft says this account, which consolidated the agency's relationship with Vodacom, was "our single biggest new business win ever". Other new clients were Lotto operator Gidani, Ramrod and Electronic Arts. In all, Draft says revenue increased by more than R52m. Below-the-line revenue grew 22% last year. The agency boasts some of SA's bluest-chip clients. The five biggest are Vodacom, Toyota, First National Bank, Eskom and Tiger Brands.
