Happy Father’s Day!

Dads come in all shapes, forms (and levels of dad jokes) and at Alkemi we have no shortage of that! 😉

When they’re not in office wearing multiple hats, juggling client needs, and sharing nuggets of their 'dad wisdoms' with us, they’re at home, spending quality time with their kids – furry or otherwise.

Wishing all the dads of Alkemi the happiest of Father's Day!

In celebration of Youth Day tomorrow, we commemorate the young people who fought for freedom in South Africa

We’ve asked our Alkemists to take trip down memory lane 📸 and looking back, we’ve come a long way to break free from the “norm” and challenges faced growing up. Today we honour our creativity, dedication, and commitment to making an impact in everything we do.

As a creative agency, we're shaping a future filled with innovation, inclusivity, and boundless opportunities for all.

"Then I Knew I Was Good at Painting," Esther Mahlangu: A Retrospective.

It’s been our privilege and honour to support and lead PR and communications for the Dr. Esther Mahlangu Retrospective Exhibition.

The chance to conceptualise and roll out a marketing, communication, and sponsorship campaign in collaboration with The Melrose Gallery for the Retrospective is exactly the kind of work we strive for – work that matters, and work that makes a difference.

Only a handful of South African artists have had the opportunity to present a Retrospective in the world's most respected museums, and doing so has cemented Dr Mahlangu's place as one of the most important contemporary artists of her time. With an international creative agency and corporate partners, including BMW International and Iziko Museums of South Africa, along with international and local media partners, the exhibition was a resounding success that generated local and global media coverage as well as reach on social media.

The exhibition, currently on display at the Iziko Museum of South Africa, Cape Town, is open to the public and will be on display until 31 August 2024.

🧥👚👖THE STREET STORE NEEDS YOU & YOUR PRE-LOVED CLOTHING 🧥👚👖

Homelessness is a global issue. It is estimated that 140 million people are homeless worldwide. And as the grip of the cost-of-living crisis takes a stronger hold, more people are in need today than ever before.

The Street Store, an M&C Saatchi Abel initiative, is a response to this global pandemic, is the world’s first rent-free, premises-free, free pop-up clothing store for the homeless and those in need. It’s initiatives like this that remind us of the power of creative solutions to global problems and we commend M&C Saatchi Abel on the 10th Anniversary of The Street Store.

In support, we’re calling on our clients, friends, family, suppliers, acquaintances and neighbours, to clean out your closets and donate your functional and pre-loved clothing and/or for you to volunteer at our 10th Anniversary Street Stores:

CAPE TOWN (The Haven Night Shelter): Tuesday, 11 June - https://fb.me/e/5jprXdoiT
JOBURG (The Salvation Army): Saturday, 22 June - https://fb.me/e/44YXX51H1

For donations:
Cape Town, drop off clothing at the M&C Saatchi Group South Africa in (Media Quarter, 5th Floor, cnr Somerset &, De Smit Street, De Waterkant), or at our Alkemi offices (Rex Trueform Office Park, Unit 8, 253 Victoria Rd, Salt River) by 16h00 on Monday, 10 June 2024.

Johannesburg, drop off clothing at the M&C Saatchi Abel offices in Houghton (9 8th Street, Houghton Estate).

AI is growing faster than the snake in your uncle’s Nokia.

However, as AI continues to evolve, it's also inevitable that machines will increasingly enchant us with their creativity.

But, even though we have cars, we still run in races. We still like to meet for coffee and chat, even though there’s WhatsApp. No matter how amazing AI gets, we’ll continue to make art, play music and tell stories the old-fashioned way, if only because they bring us joy.

In both visual and textual AI, if you like a picture or a poem, does it matter if it was drawn or written by a machine, especially if the machine was prompted by the creative vision of the human using the tool? The answer may not be clear-cut, but one thing is certain: as AI gets more sophisticated, these questions will only become more pressing.

This post was written without any help from non-human intelligence. Or was it?

Last Friday, we decided to explore the great outdoors.☀️

Fresh Atlantic sea air, some ice-cream and a moment away from our desks to rec***ect with each other and the beauty of the Sea Point promenade.

As a team, we find creative ways to seek inspiration, get to know each other outside of the office and better understand that we’re real people with a shared goal.

We’re so proud and honoured to have sponsored the media, marketing and communications support for the launch of the Dr. Esther Mahlangu Retrospective Exhibition in Cape Town today at the Iziko South African National Gallery.

This is a moment in South African History and for us as a company, that we will never forget.

"Storytelling and art are intrinsic to our identity and our humanity - c***ecting people across time, place, cultures and differences. Celebrating the brave storytellers of our past and our tomorrow is at the core of who we are and what we do at Alkemi. As an icon, disrupter, innovator, and one of the world’s most celebrated contemporary artists, Mam’ Esther Mahlangu epitomises the power of storytelling through her life and work. Sharing her story, and being part of this retrospective is an incredible honour and privilege,” says Bradly Howland, CEO of Alkemi Collective.

The maneki-neko is a common Japanese figurine which is often believed to bring good luck to the owner. The figurine depicts a cat, traditionally a calico Japanese Bobtail, with a paw raised.
We have a few of these sprinkled around the office for good luck 🤞
