People aren't necessarily drinking more wine. They're drinking better wine.🍷

As global wine consumption reaches its lowest point in decades, premium wines continue to hold their value as consumers increasingly seek authenticity, craftsmanship and a genuine sense of place.🌍

We recently worked with Steenberg Vineyards on a story exploring how South African wine producers are responding to this shift and why premiumisation may be one of the industry's biggest opportunities.🍇

What happens when the drive to reduce “red tape” starts removing the very protections that keep an industry stable?🏗️

We recently developed a story for the Building Industry Bargaining Council (BIBC) exploring why appropriate regulation still matters in South Africa’s building sector, particularly regarding worker protections, ethical labour practices, quality standards, and long-term sustainability.🧱

The article also looks at the risks associated with informal labour networks, exploitation and weak oversight within one of the country’s most labour-intensive industries.🤝

Steenberg’s new Canvas Collection winter pairing experience at Bistro Sixteen82 is built around something refreshingly simple: relaxed dining, shared plates and wines designed to spark conversation.🍷

The new seasonal menu has been paired with the estate’s Canvas Collection wines, including Semillon, Blanc and Nebbiolo, creating an experience that feels curated while still allowing guests space to explore their own pairings and preferences.🍽️

We were proud to help co-host the launch experience last week alongside the Steenberg team, welcoming media and influencers to experience the concept firsthand.🤍

AI is no longer a future concept in procurement and supply chain management — it is rapidly becoming embedded into everyday business operations. 📊

But while global adoption accelerates, many South African organisations still face challenges around data quality, integration and digital readiness. 💻

A recent story we worked on with The Chartered Institute of Procurement & Supply Southern Africa explores the growing importance of AI readiness in procurement. 🔍

The case highlights the significant financial and legal risks that can arise when contributions fall into arrears — particularly around employee death and disability cover.⚠️

A recent story we worked on with Motor Industry Bargaining Council - MIBCO explores what the ruling means for the sector.🔍

Infrastructure instability is rapidly becoming a core operational risk for South African businesses.🏠

From water shortages and logistics disruption to flooding and failing municipal systems, companies are increasingly being forced to rethink resilience and continuity planning.✔️

A recent issue-led story we worked on with World Wide Industrial & Systems Engineers (WWISE) unpacks why infrastructure failure can no longer be treated as an isolated technical issue.

“Is SaaS dead?” Not according to industry forecasts, or the reality facing businesses adopting AI.

Our latest media story with Times 3 Technologies (T3T) unpacks why AI actually strengthens the need for cloud-connected enterprise software, rather than replacing it. ☁️

It’s a conversation many South African businesses are only beginning to navigate. 🗣️

What happens when non-compliance becomes systemic across an industry?

A new analysis by the Building Industry Bargaining Council (BIBC) links South Africa’s recent blacklisting of 52 contractors to a far deeper crisis facing the building sector, from labour exploitation and procurement weaknesses to safety risks and declining public trust.

The story explores how patterns of non-compliance often extend far beyond a single regulation, impacting infrastructure quality, project delivery and fair competition across the industry.

Proud to have helped shape and secure coverage around this important industry conversation for our client, the BIBC.
