Award-Winning Stories from Our Past Winners

It was a great achievement. You know, for a small, local store competing with big, international brands, but yet, people come from all around the world to our little kiosk and support it. It’s amazing to see. It’s such an honour to be recognised.

Malikah Kyritsis from Afrika Joe

Retail Excellence Award 2024

Being a finalist for People’s Choice and Best Marketing, and winning for Best Activation, means alot to us as a team. Our team works incredibly hard at creating authentic, fun and engaging experiences. Being nominated in so many categories, and winning one, is recognition for the hard work that every person in our business puts in.

Dino Paulo from HintHunt

Best Activation Award 2024

For mom and I, it’s all about the work and the impact it can have. We want to see improvements in our community. Receiving recognition, from a place like the V&A Waterfront, it tells you that people are watching. Sometimes, you can feel really unseen. And with winning, we felt really seen.

Tamburai Chirume from One of Each

Empowerment Award, Global Brand Ambassador Award 2024

It’s very humbling. It reflects our dedication to our clients and the city of Cape Town. Winning this award is a testament to what we do and the service we provide to our clients. Going the extra mile. Always delivering on our promises. We make sure that we always do in-house training and look for ways to put ourselves a step ahead.

Carmen Roussouw from Shimanksy

Retail Service Excellence Award, Marketing Alchemy Award 2025

Our particular award was judged by the customers. And for us, the customer is the number one thing. It’s the reason we’re here. We want to make customers happy. So for us to be awarded as the customer’s favourite retail store, I can say I am really proud of it.
