VISUAL IDENTITY
We know that people remember 65% of what they see, compared to 10% of what they hear – making visual branding the strongest medium for message recall.
Creating a strong visual identity doesn’t just ensure brand recognition – when done right, it becomes the most effective way to keep your brand top of mind. In retail, where shoppers are inundated with choices – its paramount that retailers differentiate themselves through captivating visuals to create campaigns that the audience can easily resonate with.
SOCIAL INFLUENCERS
People buy from people. As the fastest growing marketing channel worldwide, Social Influencer Marketing allows content creators to effectively bridge gaps between brands and consumers – fostering authentic and relatable connections with existing and new audiences.

RETAIL JOURNEY REIMAGINED
What does the future of retail look like outside the realm of cutting-edge technology? With the ever-evolving consumer habits, the key to curating memorable and share-able experiences – is for retailers to prepare for a re-imagined state of brick-and-mortar retail by partnering with agencies that stand at the forefront of that change.
SHORTER ATTENTION SPAN
Today’s shorter attention span means brands need to work that much harder to capture and maintain their audience’s attention. Retailers who successfully give shoppers a reason to notice often deliver concise, engaging and immediately relevant content that breaks through the clutter of everyday messaging.
How can your brand stand out? By designing captivating campaigns at the right time and place – when shoppers are in the buying frame of mind; to create a lasting impact that keeps customers coming back for more.
Even with the economic pressures weighing heavily on shoppers and the increased adoption of ecommerce – South Africa remains one of the most mall heavy countries in the world. For retailers – this means re-imagining where brick-and-mortar stores fall in the buying journey and how adapting to change can truly attract higher engagement, foot traffic and sales.
