Deepening our media consultancy work with local brands, in December 2021 we were contracted by Play Braamfontein as media consultants to work on the launch of the new market The Playground (which took over from the old Neighbourgoods market).
As part of this work we helped curate a ‘first look’ media preview event for the market in December. We also curated an exclusive media guestlist for the hugely successful debut edition of the new weekly market in January 2022 which saw more than 1,500 visitors in its first day.
