When advertising inspires 8th Street
People have strong connections to the brands they love and use. These brands influence their lifestyle, their emotions, and how they are perceived by others. So, if brand messaging can have such a profound effect on peoples' lives, then it has the power to shape the very character of the consumer - when done right. 19 Jul 2019 Read more

How blackouts impact the shopper behaviour of everyday South Africans

34° crafting our very own
Beer used to be simple. Cold, fizzy and served in a glass filled all the way to the 500ml line. Beer used to be for everyone. Not anymore. Craft beer has made beer exclusive, and its made beer expensive. Chances are if you order a craft beer, you'll be getting less than you expect for much, much more than you want to pay. And for us, that defeats the purpose and spirit of beer. 15 Feb 2018 Read more

34° in search of the Kenyan story
The age-old practice of storytelling falls front and centre of the African experience: it's how information is disseminated, skills are exchanged, and histories are kept alive. That's why when it comes to getting to know someone, the wealth of insight (usually hidden under time constraints, budget cuts, border gates, and red tape) is richest when you place yourself in environments where the act of storytelling unfolds. 6 Oct 2017 Read more
