Townships have grown into huge markets for all types of brands.
Supermarkets and shopping malls need more marketers to be engaged in their consumer's lifestyles in order to deliver successful in-store promotions, brand activations and marketing campaigns.
If the above rings bells for you, then join us for an informative day in eKasi.
Explore golden opportunities by experiencing a township consumers' lifestyle for a day. Culture, tradition, spending practices, commuting, and communication mediums all are opportunities that marketers can capitalise on. It's impossible to ignore the dynamics of this market, and its potential to grow, given it already constitutes eighty percent of the South African population.
