This is our latest work in progress and it's called Suits & Sneakers! Our first edition of this event happens on Thursday, 23 July 2015 and this is what it's all about:

I have had many ambitious dreams in my life but I have never been as obsessed with an idea as I am with Suits & Sneakers… To articulate what this “thing” is exactly is possibly one of the hardest things to do because it represents my heart and soul.

For most of the year, we have been working on a very special corporate event that we believe everyone should attend. This new project is called Suits & Sneakers. Our director, Mark Sham, recently wrote an article explaining exactly what this event is all about and what we're hoping to achieve. If you enjoy the spirit of the message, share it with the world!

Sometimes it’s just your day. You wake up and the world makes sense because of an idea. This idea drives you, inspires you. You can’t think of anything else and it keeps your head spinning for days! This idea is something you have to share with the world!

Suits & Sneakers is an exciting new event of ours that aims to educate the masses about business. Absolutely worth a like!

Suits & Sneakers is the place where curiosity meets community! As a pioneering social learning club for adults, we offer a platform where formal and informal education merge to redefine the possibilities of adult learning.

We believe that companies aren't only in business to make a profit but also improve the lives of everyone involved. This is a topic very close to our director's (Mark Sham) heart and he asked us to share this article with you in hope that it has the same impact on you. This topic is absolutely relevant to all South Africans. Please set aside a few minutes and give this article your full attention:

You probably don’t know me, but like you I am one of those .01%ers, a proud and unapologetic capitalist. I have founded, co-founded and funded more than 30 companies acro...

We're in Durban again today teaching some business peeps about social media... 10 delegates to be exact. We love this city and love teaching new faces about how business can get the most out of social media!

Social media is about telling a good story and showing people what's going on "behind the scenes". Vivid Engage recently wrote this blog post for a multi-purpose function venue called Malakite and their aspirations to host events around the FIFA World Cup. Sometimes the more personal, the better. Have a read:

Sport is the ultimate reality TV show. There’s a permanent David vs. Goliath battle at play and you never truly know what’s going to happen from one second to the next. I mean you get crazy moments in life, then that crazy uncle or aunt and finally, you get sport!

Coca-Cola are just a little too smart for their own good. The video below shows one of their new marketing campaigns and we have to say, it's downright ingenious! You have to watch to understand:

Andy Warhol once said, “A coke is a coke and no amount of money can get you a better coke. All the Cokes are the same and all the Cokes are good.” That might be true, but not all Coke bottles are equal, as these students find out…

Tomorrow we are hosting another "Inside Coca-Cola" book review at the Hyatt in Rosebank. This is our 16th version of the same event dating all the way back to October 2012. Crazy to think that you can start something out of nothing!

There is something about exploring the rest of the world that sets your soul free and opens your mind! Our director, Mark Sham, wrote this blog post hoping that people will put the excuses away and book that next overseas trip. Here's why:

As the cost of living continues to sky rocket and the rand seems to plummet just as fast as South Africans rack up unpaid e-toll bills, it may seem an inopportune time for me to suggest that you book your next overseas holiday ASAP but that’s exactly what I’m going to do.
