Clockwork

Our Chief Creative Officer, Jacques Shalom, is on the Special Honours Jury Panel at the IAB South Africa 2025 Bookmark Awards. A well-earned nod to his impact and creativity in the digital space.

Racking up the recognition! We’ve scored two finalist nods at the 2025 SABRE EMEA Awards — for Adasa – A Moment to Forget in Geographic Africa and Disney+ The Bear in Experiential – Publicity Stunt. On top of that, we’ve picked up a Certificate of Excellence in Experiential Marketing – Live Events for Disney+ The Bear Joburg Experience at the 2025 EMEA IN2 SABRE Awards. Huge love to our team and clients for making work that matters (and gets noticed).

Valentine’s Day marketing is a battlefield, and brands keep making the same mistakes. Overpriced gimmicks, forced romance, and cringey campaigns – it’s time to stop overcomplicating it. Simple, witty, and relatable always wins. #VDayFail #KeepItReal
