With a wide range of attendees – from managers of big brands to start-up marketers looking for that digital edge – the showcase of South Africa’s latest digital thinking aims to 'wow' the audience with the insights that have made these creative practitioners the best in digital.

We now live in an always-on, hyper-connected digital world, and this presents a new realm of both opportunities and challenges for marketers. Many are still figuring it out, but these six creative agencies have cracked the code.

Drawn from winning performances in the IAB’s Bookmarks Awards for digital excellence, the six agencies are Ogilvy, King James, M&C Saatchi Abel, Net#work BBDO, HelloComputer and VML.

These creative powerhouses were more awarded in digital than the rest of the industry combined, and the Red & Yellow Digital Agency Showcase gives minds the opportunity to learn about their formula for success. And it’s free.

The need to learn and grow is immense, but conventional conferences come with high ticket prices, making it impossible for smaller companies and start-ups to attend.

In line with our conviction that relentless curiosity and lifelong learning is the bedrock of great careers, we wanted to provide a more accessible learning opportunity – a free conference that showcases South Africa’s top six digital agencies, aligned with their positioning in the market as digital marketing educational specialists.

The proof-points supporting this claim are our eMarketing textbook, used by academic institutions around the world as well as our Digital Marketing online course and post-grad qualification – Advanced Diploma in Digital Marketing.

The day aims to be interesting and informative, with the final highlight being post-conference conversations and catch-ups while enjoying sunset drinks at Red & Yellow’s spectacular rooftop bar.

If you’re one of the ones that didn’t manage to secure a seat, don’t fret. There is a waiting list that you can sign up for – but just know that our Alumni Network gets 'first dibs'.

The event will also be live streamed for free on the Red & Yellow Facebook page.
