The message was lost in the title, I think

[Tebogo Koena] It takes time to craft a message, even more so when it is meant to kick-start dialogue. I'm thinking of the manner in which this song "Blacks R Foolz" was received. There were many positive reactions, especially on social media platforms, on the one hand. On the other, there was negative feedback on the song, mainly due to the title. (video)

Thanks Mike, definitely more will be coming. I know of the Levi's campaign, one the very few that pushed boundaries with local artists. Great work you're doing at Brandsrock.

Why are we not branding our local music? Part II

[Tebogo Koena] We seem to forget or perhaps don't want history to tap us on the shoulder now and then. When South Africa was in isolation, our people rose up against apartheid through music and chants, original music and chants; it is how we as South Africans give voice to our concerns and deliver a message.

Why are we not branding our local music?

[Tebogo Koena] Being in the brand-building business myself and often hearing artists refer to themselves as "brands", it makes me wonder if we truly grasp the subject matter of brands and how branding works. Being inspired by a track or an artist is one thing; using international tracks twice in a row to raise awareness and influence change in behaviour on local issues for local benefit is another.
