My name is Andy and I am an albino Maasai from Kenya. As I grew older in Africa I became increasingly aware that I stuck out like a tick on a testicle. Apart from my glaring skin, my tribe prided itself on its skills in statunga (village bouncing), which is something I have never been very good at. The tribal women are terribly shallow and “only the highest jumpers get the humpers”, so as you can imagine my chances with the Maasai women were slimmer than a plagued cow. I think it was my ability to paint sticks that kept me going for so long. Almost every mud hut in my village had one of my stick paintings embedded in their walls. I was speaking clicks to my village Witch Doctor one day when he said the advertising industry might appreciate my creativity. As soon as I’d heard this I had my goat all packed up and ready to head off to Axis Adschool in Auckland. I was lucky enough to meet a young copywriter by the name of Katrin short after I had arrived. She was the first woman I had ever met that had no concern for my lack of statunga skills. Things were starting to look up! It is my goal to one-day return to my village with a huge herd of healthy cattle bearing golden hooves so that I can gloat and blow faces at the village women. All we need now is a job. Please have a look at our work and if you think we’ve got talent we would love to have a chat. We hope to talk soon.
