ABOUT US
An independent media space & integrated agency capturing the zeitgeist of South Africa’s creative arts community. Covering news, music, fashion, art, culture and creativity.
We are committed to analysing, curating, and proliferating stories of youth culture & creativity; this is essential in harnessing the explosive potential of South African brands, creatives and wayshowers.
We focus on innovation and selling newness through our curatorial lens of popular culture and storytelling. We believe that independent media is critical for containing and creating impactful content as it happens.
With the integration of our media publication and digital agency, we offer a uniquely positioned set of skills and services that effectively capture the markets’ shifting landscape and allow us to amplify campaigns, editorials and co-branded content through our media eco-system. Contact us for media submissions, advertising and sponsored article content and head to our agency page to find out more about our services.
Information flies across the world untethered, but it can be directed, curated and injected with positive energy. Everything is connected, yet sometimes we can only see that looking backwards towards the past.
What if we could connect things yet to come through vision and foresight?
Through understanding the shifts that created the challenges and recognising the best way to change them requires our technique, intuition and vast experience.
We exist for our community, businesses and brands to thrive by always connecting everything forwards; into the future and beyond.
CEC – a producer, an orchestrator and a multiplier: Bringing value to your brands, business and our community where it matters most…
By Connecting Everything Clearly.
We are culture. We are Connect Everything Collective.
