There are many reasons why clients return to their suppliers and Creative Collective is an established front runner in their field which sets them apart from the rest. Being able to tick all the boxes by paying attention to detail while assessing and executing the client’s bespoke brief is what they do with so much pride. Going the extra mile and considering future development of any custom/themed event does not happen often in the entertainment industry and I am convinced they achieve this with ease and this is why Creative Collective have been awarded their acclaimed accolades and awards. I believe the exquisite standard and legacy of Creative Collective will forever thrive. 🎖🎖🎖🎖🎖

Paula Gruben
Copywriter
In 2016 I was hired by Creative Collective as a freelance copywriter to write / edit / proofread press releases & other PR material. Maia was an absolute pleasure to work for. Clear briefs, minimal changes, quick approval times, & best of all - no waiting for / chasing up of payments. Maia is a consummate professional. She is an incredibly create, forward-thinking businesswomen who goes above & beyond to deliver world-class products & quality service to her clients. Events, promotions, cutting-edge brand activations, slick in-house design - she & her team take care of EVERYthing. I cannot recommend Maia & her company highly enough.

Frequently asked questions
What locations do you service?
We work throughout South Africa.
How far in advance should I book your services for my event?
This depends on the scale of your event, smaller events, we need 4 - 6 weeks, while bigger events require 2 months or longer lead time. Builds requires 6 - 8 weeks subject to our schedule at the time of confirmation.
Can you accommodate specific themes or custom requests for events?
Yes, all our events are unique, we have an in-house team that can also custom build & personalise items to your specifications.
Are you insured for liability & emergencies during events?
Yes, we have active public liability & work with our clients to ensure we know measures to take in emergencies, we also train our on-site event staff in emergency protocols as per the event venue.
What is your cancellation and refund policy?
Due to the high quality nature of the work, our clients don’t cancel they postpone.
What makes a successful experiential marketing campaign?
A successful campaign is one that resonates with the target audience, drives foot traffic, increases brand awareness, & generates positive buzz. We achieve this by combining creative storytelling with strategic planning & execution along with quantifiable data to support the stats - this is a great event not because we say it is but because the stats shows it is.
How long does it typically take to plan & execute an experiential marketing campaign?
The timeline can vary depending on the complexity of the campaign. A straightforward activation might take a few weeks, while larger, more intricate campaigns may require several months of planning.
