SA Taxi - Lucas
SA Taxi gets on board Spitfire to drive the nation forward.
Net#work BBDO client SA Taxi are specialists in renewed taxis with a promise of the highest quality and dependability. Small wonder they demanded the same qualities in a director for their new campaign of 6 commercials. Enter Spitfire director Katlego Baaitse. With a talent for extracting natural performance and deliveries from his subjects – including eight SA Taxi employees and two actual Taxipreneurs – and an uncompromising eye for detail, Katlego drives SA Taxi’s vision forward beautifully.
Two days’ shooting across multiple locations around Gauteng shows he can get around pretty smartly too. Just like SA Taxis. To help get your vision moving just as smartly, give us a call today.

“Where there’s a screen, there’s an opportunity.” When Spitfire Films was established a decade ago by Executive Producer Liesl Karpinski and Director AK, this was a statement of intent designed to disrupt the existing production model. And Spitfire has been doing it successfully ever since. South Africa’s first 360º content production company, Spitfire has collaborated closely with the industry’s top advertising agencies and clients to create some of the country’s most effective – and engaging – content.
From TV and cinema commercials, and hugely successful interactive digital campaigns (KFC “Shakin”), to activations for Fox Crime, Insta stories for Mumm Champagne, and SA’s first interactive horror film with Facebook Live for DSTV, Spitfire has created outstanding work for every kind of content. And built a reputation for fast turnaround times, excellent value, and high creative standards. Standards embraced by our grassroots talent who are in the process of becoming Spitfire shareholders.
But it’s the work itself that speaks the loudest to Spitfire’s intent. And talent. Please take a look.
