Marketer Spotlight: Vaughan Croeser, Vice President of Marketing at The South African Breweries
There are some brands so deeply woven into our daily South African lives that they’ve become as familiar to us as rugby, boerewors, and arguing about both. When it’s your job to look after those brands, to keep them loved and relevant… well, no pressure, right? That’s exactly the world Vaughan Croeser, VP of Marketing at South African Breweries, operates in every day. In this Spotlight, we spoke to Vaughan about trusting directors, backing big ideas, judging at Cannes, and why long-term brand building still requires short-term courage.
They launches Katie Pascoe, a performance-first director with cinematic taste
Over the past year, Katie Pascoe has steadily built a body of performance-driven work at They. First for the trendy burger brand Brash, then a fast-turnaround Pick n Pay x Springboks spot, followed by a slate of KFC social films. What a way to say “Hello ad land!”.
Five years at number one, why Marc Algranti still leads the music conversation
For five consecutive years, Loeries has ranked Marc Algranti as South Africa’s number one music supervisor. Five years people! In an industry that forgets quickly and moves on even faster, that kind of consistency doesn’t happen by accident. Instead, it happens because someone cares, deeply, about music, detail, relationship and getting it right.
