FEMALE OWNED
CreateSA.tv is a 100% female owned production company, born from the need to create professional, authentic content without breaking the bank, while breaking a few rules and challenging the status quo.
RADICAL INCLUSIVITY
Inclusion is not a trend. It’s a way of life. At CreateSA.tv we prioritise collaborating and working with marginalised minorities, including creatives from the LGBTQIA+ community, people of colour and women. From the Photographers and Directors we work with, right through to our production team, crew and suppliers, we try to be as inclusive and diverse as possible.
MENTORING INITIATIVES
While we believe in the importance of inclusivity when choosing our creatives and crew, we also recognise that the lack of diversity in our industry is an issue that needs to be addressed at its root. Professional female, black and LGBTQIA+ Photographers, Directors and DOPs are becoming more prevalent, but in general, these creatives in established positions in our industry are still a minority. We provide mentoring and growth opportunities to young upcoming creatives from underrepresented minorities to help create equal opportunities for all.
PROFESSIONAL TVC, STILLS AND DIGITAL CONTENT SOLUTIONS
We offer world-class Stills, TVC, Music Video and Online Content production that can be tailored and scaled according to your budgets and briefs. We have collaborated with various Ad agencies including Grid Worldwide, Publicis Groupe, M&C Saatchi and many more, to create authentic, professional and award-winning campaign & content solutions for clients including Jameson, Sony UK, Airbnb, Nedbank, Telkom, FNB, Qatar Tourism, Windhoek, Old Mutual and many more.
