HOW DOES IT FEEL WORKING WITH MARUAPULA BRAND?

HERE ARE CLIENT TESTIMONIALS AND RECOMMENDATIONS BASED ON THEIR PROJECT EXPERIENCES WITH US

Riversands I-Hub: Brand workshops

It is with great pleasure that I recommend Kelebogille Makwala from Maruapula Brand as a service provider and workshop facilitator working with SMMEs on the strategic market positioning of their business and brand.

Kelebogile has provided support to SMMEs in our ecosystem as follows:

• Conducting one-on-one consultations with beneficiaries, including conducting research on specific business needs.

• Developing workshop curriculum and facilitation on a variety of workshops.

• Writing incisive reports for the abovementioned items.

Kelebogile is a professional and dedicated service provider and exhibits expertise across branding, marketing and strategic business communications with a key focus on sustainability and innovation.

Gauteng Tourism Authority: Digital assets and collateral services

GTA’s aim is to promote Gauteng as a viable tourist destination by showcasing lifestyle options and all the province has to offer visitors.

Maruapula Brand was tasked with design and production of creative graphic collateral for our Digital Marketing and Social Media campaigns.

Through the development of the creative imagery, the team at Maruapula assisted us well in effectively promoting destination Gauteng, its regions, and neighbourhoods on our digital marketing platforms through vibrant, creative content and designs. This was done through careful content and campaign planning and management. The consultants subsequently provided reports of all deliverables.

National museum: ArtbankSA Marketing strategy and Monitoring and evaluation

From the onset, Maruapula Brand demonstrated a deep understanding of strategic frameworks and how to adapt them to our unique needs. They worked closely with us to design a customised marketing strategy tailored to increase sales and broaden the reach of ArtbankSA. Their global perspective and innovative approach ensured that the strategy was not only grounded in best practices but also highly relevant to our local and national context. They facilitated workshops, provided actionable insights, and equipped us with effective monitoring and evaluation tools that have become integral to our ongoing efforts.

One of the most valuable aspects of working with Maruapula Brand was their willingness to educate and empower our team. Their collaborative approach fostered a sense of ownership and understanding within our organisation.

Gauteng Tourism Authority: Brand Health Track

With a focus on the reputation of the brand, Maruapula Brand was entrusted with monitoring stakeholder intention to travel to Gauteng, current awareness and perceptions of key competitor destinations, barriers to travel to Gauteng, and how the destination is performing on important functional and emotional brand attributes in comparison to its competitors in each market.

The team at Maruapula Brand achieved the objectives of gaining a competitive understanding of Destination Gauteng’s brand equity and performance, becoming accountable as a public brand, living up to the brand promise while building sustainable relationships with various stakeholders within Destination Gauteng, and lastly, prioritising transparency, centralising the customer by observing their feelings, awareness, understanding and purchase decisions.

Mogale City: Brand strategy

After years of doing ad-hoc, unguided and reactive brand communication and related work, today we are proud of having developed a Strategy that not only unpacks our purpose as a state organ but also with clear guiding interventions on internal and external brand and related communications, marketing, and other functional engagement.

As far as their services are concerned Maruapula displayed a high level of professionalism, provided ongoing client engagement, displayed honest work ethics and always met set project deadlines.

We are therefore confident to recommend Maruapula for any brand development, marketing, communications or stakeholder development or activation project.

NYDA: Brand experience

Maruapula Brand was an integrated brand partner for the NYDA in connection with strategic communications and stakeholder engagement towards the Women of Firsts programme. Maruapula Brand added value in creating a healthy relationship amongst stakeholders in an effort towards addressing socio-economic needs in collaborating and long-term stakeholders’ involvement and leverage representation across various sectors in order to deliver socio-economic remedies towards the needs faced by South African youth, particularly women

Mrs. Kelebogile Makwala, as the project manager, was instrumental in performing reputational management and crisis management service due to an unforeseen incident.

Right Seat: Brand and business strategy

Through their work in developing our brand and business strategy, much impact was derived from their creativity on various digital platforms. In essence, the team at Maruapula Brand displayed global thought leadership and an understanding of our brand’s public relations needs in Rwanda and across the continent. They identified new ways of building a sustainable reputation for the brand.

We appreciate their approach to stakeholder engagement, the management of our brand positioning and creative communication across valued contact points.
