So what's trending, baby?

It's mid-January 2012 already and mostly everyone should be back at work by now. A Happy New Year to those of you who've not been around in the past two weeks and boy, oh boy, do you have a lot of reading to catch up on since we commenced with our 2012 Biz Trends Report Series last Monday! And what a bumper crop it's been so far, with loads more still to come! Plus we're thrilled to announce Aegis Media as our VST (Very Trendy Sponsor).

Talking about Aegis, the third Thought Leadership Digibate takes place this week at 9am on Thursday, 19 January 2012, and the theme this time around is search-based marketing. These digital debates are hosted by Aegis, in conjunction with Bizcommunity, in front of a live studio audience and are audio-streamed live over the internet.

Are you a history or a branding boff? We're giving away five copies of From Groot Constantia to Google: 1865 to 2010 - a colourful history of brands & branding in South Africa by Affinity Advertising & Publishing, which contains 304 pages detailing more than 400 brands with over 1000 pictures, narratives, articles, heritage profiles and cameos and retails for R365. Go to our Facebook page, find the History of Brands & Branding wall post and tell us what your favourite SA brand is in the comment section. Then email your favourite brand to win@bizcommunity.com to enter the lucky draw.

Have a wonderful week!

[2012 trends] To fret or not to fret?
[Gill Moodie: @grubstreetSA] If you're viewing 2012 with trepidation, you're not the only one. The long and the short of it is that 2012 is a year of reining in spending for all so we can expect marginal media products to be shut, retrenchments and other forms of cost-cutting. But it's not all gloomy as I peer into the crystal ball, so let's look first at the sunnier spots for South African media this year. Read more >>
