A new independent Namibian advertising and communications agency, Weathermen & Co Advertising (Pty) Ltd., has launched in Windhoek, Namibia. The startup agency is a joint venture between Namibian holding company Ohlthaver & List Group and The Jupiter Drawing Room (Cape Town).
The two parties have a long term existing relationship. The O&L Group of Companies is the owner of Namibia Breweries Limited – a client of Jupiter (Cape Town) for many years – that owns, manufactures and distributes the award-winning beer brand Windhoek.
Weathermen & Co. will be headed up by newly appointed Managing Director, Nicky Schermer, who previously held the position of Group Account Director at The Jupiter Drawing Room (Cape Town) for the past five years, and who headed up the Namibia Breweries account.
Along with servicing existing Ohlthaver & List Group brands – including Tafel Lager and Wernhil Park – Weathermen & Co. has already lined up other Namibian clients, including Team Namibia.
