There is always something to learn from people who take pride in their craft.

Last month, our team spent time at the Ginologist Distillery, getting a closer look at the passion, precision, and obsessive attention to detail that goes into building a standout product and a brand experience people remember.

It was a valuable opportunity to step away from our desks and spend time together as one team, client and agency side by side, learning from a brand that is as committed to quality as it is to giving consumers exactly what they are looking for.

Huge thanks to the Ginologist t team for opening your doors and pouring your story out for us. This is what happens when craft meets ambition, and we cannot wait for what we build next.

Back-to-back Medium Agency of the Year!

One night on stage. Years of work to get there.

The NewGen Awards brought together the industry's best work and boldest thinking, and we didn't just join the conversation. We were named Medium Agency of the Year, for the second-year running.

🏆MEDIUM AGENCY OF THE YEAR
🏆1x Gold
🏆1x Silver
🏆3x Bronze

Winning Medium Agency of the Year two years in a row means the consistency is real, not a one-off.

Thanks to Spitfire for the collaboration on the campaigns recognised on the night.

Work like this is never a clever idea that landed in a week. It is years of knowing a client's business well enough to push harder.

To Suzuki SA who trusted us with the brief, and to every Penquinite who refused to stop at good enough, thank you.

🏆🏆 Two years. Same standard. Here's to great work and even greater partnerships.

As AI reshapes the world around us, strong, human-centred leadership has never been more important.

That's why we're thrilled to share that Karlien has been selected as one of the 2026 AI-Powered Women Conference's 100 Changemakers, a global initiative recognising women who are creating meaningful impact through their leadership, work and service.

Among just 100 women selected worldwide, Karlien joins an inspiring community of leaders helping shape the future of business, innovation and society.

Congratulations on this outstanding achievement and well-earned recognition.

Months of planning. Four days to prove it.

Last month our team was on the ground at the Festival of Motoring, turning Suzuki SA's presence into an experience people could walk into, sit in and remember.

Activations like this don't come together on the day. Production planning, build, logistics, crew, contingency for the things nobody schedules - it all has to run at once, and it only runs cleanly when the people managing it have done it before. That's the value of in-house experience: fewer suppliers to chase, fewer handovers to lose things in, one team accountable from concept through to strike.

The best feedback came from the client themselves:
“In the three years I’ve been managing it, this was the best Festival of Motoring yet.” - Eileen Gengan, PR & Events Manager

Proud to have built this one alongside Suzuki. More to come.

From the studio to the Front Row. 🔥

A massive congratulations to our very own Kezia Gamedze, who has been selected as one of only 15 delegates for the IAB South Africa Front Row 2026 programme.

Front Row was created to give South Africa's brightest emerging marketing and creative talent access to the people, platforms and opportunities shaping the future of the industry.

In other words? She's officially one to watch. 👏

This Women's Month, we're celebrating a young creative who's proving that talent, hard work and bold ideas can take you anywhere.

You've earned your seat, Kezia. ✨💜
