And just like that, we've reached the middle of what feels like the longest month of the year, and South African kids are heading back to school tomorrow. Parents can breathe a sigh of relief!

For this BFirst by Bata production, our team aimed to create a library of images for the brand's digital platforms. We sought to visually encapsulate the joyful and dynamic spirit of young children as they anticipate their first day back at school. These images subsequently served as supporting materials for BFirst's 'Face Your Firsts' back-to-school campaign in 2024.

We recently completed a brand identity and website project for Wild Parker Private Safaris.

From humble beginnings to a thriving safari business, Adam Parker has dedicated his life to exploring the wonders of Africa. Capturing it through his lens, he has created a vast archive of images and narratives that compliment his expertise.

We are stoked to bring Adam's vision to life and support him in firmly establishing himself as a dedicated wildlife and conservation expert.

The Africa Tech Startup Forum (ATSF) is a startup acceleration program dedicated to empowering African tech ventures. This year, we've been proud to partner with ATSF to:

+ Develop a visual identity for the program
+ Create engaging social media content to connect with the African tech community, with a focus on LinkedIn.
+ Design and develop a user-friendly website to showcase the program, the cohorts and facilitate B2B connections.

Working with some amazing teams and organisations such as Catalyze, UVU Africa, and the African Development Bank Fund, we've been inspired by the incredible talent and potential of the African tech ecosystem.

For Women’s Month 2022, Bata South Africa wanted to connect with all its customers through 4 of its sub-brands, bringing to life the Suits and Sneakers fashion trend within an integrated 360 degree campaign idea.

We pitched and executed , a campaign which positioned wearing a suit as a triumphant symbol for freedom of choice for women. We collaborated with 4 distinct personalities for North Star, Tomy Takkies, Power Footwear and American Cup – individuals who we felt represented each brand in a confident, comfortable and fashionable way.

The campaign also sought to recognise and thank the real, relatable and successful women who work behind the scenes at Bata South Africa, making sure that others can look and feel their best every day.

At New Noise, we're passionate about uplifting culture through GOOD design. Back in 2020, we built an online store for the KZNSA Gallery. The Gallery shop supports so many talented KZN artists and artisans, and has amazing art and craft work for sale. Financially, things are very rough for the gallery right now, so they're running a campaign to raise some money to get back on track and keep their doors open. There are only 19 more days left to donate and at the time of posting this they have only reached 4% of their goal, so please consider lending a hand if you can by donating today, and supporting the Gallery, Shop and Cafe! Check out the #mykznsa Back-a-Buddy campaign: https://www.backabuddy.co.za/campaign/my-kznsa

Our planet is a daily commitment at New Noise. We believe that creativity cannot exist without responsibility, and one of our core values is sustainability, which means that we favour responsible business practices; placing people and the natural environment at the forefront of our decision-making and daily operations, before profit. We do this by: + Donating monthly to support The Litterboom Project's fight against plastic pollution. The Litterboom crew do incredible work, and have a Beach Jam session planned for Saturday 27 April in Umhlanga. Check out their feed for more info. + Working every day to lower our carbon footprint by making more conscious decisions; recycling in the workplace and on productions, and we have a solar-powered studio. ☀️ + Signing the Clean Creatives pledge. + Partnering in support of the Ocean Innovation Africa Summit, which is working towards creating a positive impact on our Oceans. We service many clients in the circular economy space, including Circular Vision (website build), Lumec (brand identity and website build), and we’ve just completed a refreshed brand identity and website build for MetPac-SA (look out for the release soon). We're not perfect, but our goal is to make a positive impact, and to use design to create a more conscious, compassionate, and connected world. #earthdayeveryday
