Don't say no to Panda

I love this series of Egyptian ads for a cheese brand called Panda. They are made by Elephant, a boutique agency based in Cairo. They won several awards at the Dubai Lynx Awards in March this year and I hope the Panda ads will help them win some more.

The premise is very simple, in each one, someone is offered Panda cheese, but when the offer is rejected, Panda appears with a disappointed look that causes awkwardness and discomfort to everyone. Then the fun begins.

The advertising agency's name is "Advantage" not "Elephant"

actually i'm pretty sure this is the work of ali ali and maged nassar at "Elephant."
i think advantage handles the account while and elephant does the creative work.

Thanks Karim, I agree, it is Elephant that did the work. I have not found any information that says otherwise.
