Economic effect

The partnership between The City of Cape Town and The Loeries will ensure greater focus on the impact of the brand communications industry in not only helping consumers find the goods and services that best add value to their lives but also its ability to grow economies and influence thinking within societies.

In 2022, research company BDO reported that The Loeries and its events contributed over R90m to the City’s GDP through 17 official Loeries events and 13 partner events that were held throughout the week. These events also acted as a showcase for the City with an anticipated knock-on economic effect.

“We are excited to partner with the City of Cape Town to bring The Loeries to the City,” says The Loeries CEO, Preetesh Sewraj, “The partnership with The City has been exceptionally valuable one in growing creative excellence across the region and I look forward to further expanding our partnership with future editions of The Loerie Awards.”
