Anton Visser and Zayd Halim Become Patriot

Anton Visser and Zayd Halim, previously of South African production company Velocity have left to form their own company.

The director and producer duo, whose ads for Toyota, Yellow Pages and Virgin Active have previously appeared on shots, bring their 36 years of combined experience to Patriot, their new production company venture. 

Before Velocity, Visser was a copywriter and creative director at The Jupiter Drawing Room in Cape Town, which taught him the importance of character that feeds into his ads, including ads for tech company BCX and the South African Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
