www means something more than the start of a website URL, it means access to the entire world. Connection to someone else anywhere on the planet and the ability to communicate to them in any way imaginable… So, with that in mind:  Happy Holidays to everyone out there - literally, everyone. #creativethinking #digitalmarketing #Creativity #FestiveSeason #SouthAfrica #Holidays

Today is the Day of Reconciliation in South Africa and it serves to remind us of the spirit of our country and the people who call it home. We are a proud, yet humble people who love the soil beneath our feet. We also love a public holiday so we’re closed today, but if you’re reading this, we like your work ethic and we think you should think about joining our team in the new year. What is it that you do? #creativethinking #Publicholiday #Team #Hiring

Another year, another win for Maxine Van Zijl, who’s just achieved her Meta Digital Marketing Associate certification for the third year in a row. Staying ahead in this industry is no small feat, but Maxine makes it look effortless. Her expertise speaks for itself through the strong, lasting relationships she has with our partners. Excellence is her standard—and we wouldn’t expect anything less. Well done, Maxine!

It’s not every day we get to work with people who love dogs as much as we do! We recently partnered with Lovepup Plus - a group of dog-loving female business owners (read: boss ladies!) who started a company to help everyone out there have the best time with their furry friends - and helped them bring their idea to life, and online. Lovepup+ will be a game-changing application with highly unique features, but for now, it’s a great idea with amazing potential. Potential our team is proud to be a part of from Day 0 and counting… #creativethinking #digitalmarketing #branding #webdesign #partnership #dogs

It’s the most wonderful time of the year… Time to make sure that everything we aimed to achieve in the last 12 months was accomplished as planned. And in an industry of constant flux akin to a kaleidoscope, we at Platinum Seed are fairly proud to say that it has been a great year! Thanks to all of our clients, partners and friends for a solid 2024 - now let’s wrap it up, focus on the present(s) and make a new list for 2025! #creativethinking #brandawareness #performancemarketing #Advertising #DigitalMarketing

At the risk of getting mushy, as we begin to look back on another year (how?!) in the South African digital marketing world we exist in, what we love most about this melting pot o’ marketing madness is the incredible diversity and creativity we see every day. From vibrant local cultures to innovative tech solutions, our landscape is filled with opportunities to connect authentically with audiences. Our unique outlook as a community of marketers allows us to adapt quickly to trends and challenges, creating campaigns that resonate with a notably diverse group of countrymen and women. Ok, that’s enough of that fluffy stuff - get back to work! #creativethinking #digitalmarketing #onlinemarketing #diversity #Creativity #Collaboration #Innovation

Meet the one-and-only: Maré Fernandes! 💪🏽 In just a few months as our lead UX/UI designer, Maré has hit the ground running (and hasn’t stopped), showing off her flair for creative/thinking. And her talent hasn’t gone unnoticed by others either… She was recently asked to lead lectures at the Academy of Digital Arts, where she helped future creatives understand the fundamentals of customer experience through design. In case you can’t tell, we love having her on the PS/team. #creativethinking #digitaldesign #userexperiencedesign #userexperience #digitalmarketing

Sometimes we say smart things, and sometimes we just like to quote what other smart people have said. This is one of those other times: “Regardless of technology or the speed of innovation, people are still people. And all the rules of humanity still apply.” - Simon Sinek Thanks, Simon. #creativethinking #webdevelopment #webdesign #digitaldesign #productdevelopment #uxdesign

Navigating Awards in Advertising: A Dual Perspective   At Platinum Seed, we know that awards in the advertising industry can hold significant value, but we also approach them with thoughtful scepticism. As we approach awards-ceremony-season, this is our take on the dual nature of accolades: The Good: • Celebration of Creativity: Awards provide a platform to recognise and celebrate the incredible talent within our industry and help inspire teams to push boundaries.  • Credibility Boost: Winning an award can enhance an agency’s reputation, helping to build trust with potential clients and showcasing a commitment to quality and innovation. • Networking Opportunities: Award ceremonies gather the brightest minds in the industry, creating great opportunities for collaboration. The Less Good: • Subjectivity: Awards are often decided by a select panel, which means that what’s celebrated may not always align with our client needs. • Focus Shift: There’s a fine line between striving for excellence and chasing awards. While we love recognition from our peers, we will always strive to deliver impactful results for our clients. • Pressure to Conform: For us, it’s crucial to stay true to our vision and values. • Morale: While awards definitely boost morale, we hope that the real satisfaction comes from meaningful work and the positive impact we create. We celebrate every achievement, aiming to balance our pursuit of recognition with a focus on delivering real value. But who doesn’t love a good awards after-party?! #creativethinking #brandawareness #performancemarketing #Advertising #DigitalMarketing #Awards #Creativity #Innovation
