Latest newsOkay, let’s set the scene here.
Imagine you're walking through your local mall, and someone asks for a moment of your time. You're in a hurry, but the allure of getting something for 'free' makes you pause – maybe you end up leaving with a toothpick tester, a cap, or a perfume sample? Or leave Burger King with one of their paper crowns? Or perhaps, you leave a festival with a new branded cup in hand after seeing your favourite local artist? 28 Aug 2024 Read more With over 46% of the South African population making up the Gen Z generation (12-27 years old), it is that key brands know exactly how to effectively build efficacy, trust and affiliation within this audience.

One strategy remains a cornerstone for influencing consumer behavior: promotional trade marketing. 29 Apr 2024 Read more In today's economic climate, marked by rising inflation and heightened price sensitivity, the battle for consumer attention and loyalty has intensified.

In the world of retail and consumer goods, that means one thing - opportunity. And not just any opportunity. It's the kind of seismic moment that can make or break annual targets. Last year, FNB reported that its customers alone spent a record R3bn on Black Friday, with 80% of spend taking place in physical stores - an increase of 18% from the previous year. This year, Black Friday is expected to be even bigger, with many South African retailers planning a bonanza Black Friday period. For brands, this means increased consumer footfall with intent to buy. But how do you cut through the noise and make sure your brand not only survives but thrives in this ultra-competitive landscape? 1 Nov 2023 Read more When it comes to below-the-line brand activations and promotions, a national agency is only as good as its strength in each and any region.

Leveraging the expertise of an experienced promotional agency can help you create experiences that resonate with consumer buyer behaviour to maximise market share and sales. 6 Mar 2023 Read more Corporate marketing ecosystems are complex. Large internal teams spanning brand, digital, trade and public relations (the list goes on!) are supported by a network of supplier marketing agencies - who all, in turn, have their own networks of partners and suppliers (collectively this is "the channel"). 31 Jan 2023 Read more E-commerce has never been easier, safer, or more convenient. But, as it turns out, us humans haven't gone full cyborg, yet. We love connecting over real-life shared experiences. And shoppers, starved of everyday opportunities to connect during the pandemic are making up for lost time in SA's malls in a big way.
It's time for brands to follow suit. Stop being a wall flower on supermarket shelves. Get back into the forecourts of malls and forefronts of consumers' minds with experiential events and brand activations. 15 Nov 2022 Read more Fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) contribute R1tn to South Africa's annual gross domestic product (roughly 20% of economic production) and employs 2.5 million people (or 16% of the country's total formal labour force). But this robust sector isn't immune from disruptive innovation and evolving consumer behaviour. 6 Oct 2022 Read more The term 'trends' is certainly not something new to the world of below-the-line marketing or consumer promotions in general.

And you guessed it, that most certainly includes the banking industry in South Africa. 8 Apr 2022 Read more Over the past two years, the world has undergone some immense changes.

See those queues of shoppers masked up, socially distanced and sanitised to within an inch of their lives outside the local Shoprite, Checkers and Woolies? It's business as usual on the streets of SA. 1 Sep 2020 Read more As technology intensifies and competition proliferates, customers are demanding more bespoke and engaging interactions to give a brand the attention it warrants. 4 Sep 2016 Read more While many businesses are including experiential marketing campaigns into their strategies, the brands that wholeheartedly take advantage of experiences as a core aspect of their businesses are benefitting most.
