An exciting period begins for Octagon South Africa, one of the world's largest Sports Marketing and entertainment consultancies, as the agency announces two new accounts: sponsorship management and consultancy for leading payment solutions group, MasterCard Worldwide in South Africa and management of Toyota's Free State Cheetahs sponsorship.
MasterCard holds various sponsorship properties across multiple platforms globally, including soccer, golf, baseball, rugby, music and fashion. MasterCard Worldwide in South Africa has appointed Octagon to manage and leverage its global Rugby World Cup asset in South Africa. This appointment builds on Octagon's existing consultancy work with MasterCard which includes sport, music & entertainment assets both here in South Africa and the African continent.
Octagon Africa's CEO, Qondisa Ngwenya commented: "We are thrilled to be building our relationship with MasterCard. They've been a global client for 18 years and we look forward to extending this longstanding partnership."
Octagon will drive the Toyota Free State Cheetahs sponsorship by seeking opportunities to further leverage the Toyota brand through strategic research and planning, sponsorship activation and procurement for the property - an opportunity relished by Octagon.
