Dear Marketer,
Have you ever looked back on a year and wondered how you survived it? For the majority of South Africans, 2019 started benignly enough, cosily wrapped in the blanket of Ramaphoria that enveloped us all at the end of last year. By the beginning of February though, the blanket had worn thin, and in the months that followed, it offered little comfort against the chill of bad news sweeping the country.
It all culminated on Saturday 2 November in a headline to the effect that ratings agency Moody’s had revised its assessment of South African government debt from stable to negative. But this time there was a glimmer of hope. The Springbok rugby team had made it all the way to the final of the World Cup, where they would face England later that day. The rest is history. Thanks to the power of sport, 57 million South Africans will end the year filled with pride in the belief that anything is possible if we stand #StrongerTogether.
As we start planning for next year, let's take this strong and positive attitude forward into a new decade of marketing challenges. At Technews Publishing, we're energised, ready and can’t wait to tell you about our new vision and offerings. We’d like nothing better than to help you design a custom media strategy that enables you to look back on every year with this same sense of pride.
