The best media stories take audiences somewhere they couldn’t normally go.

Ahead of the busy summer season, Alkemi worked with Table Mountain Aerial Cableway to coordinate a media experience with Wilderness Search And Rescue WSAR Western Cape (WSAR), giving journalists an inside look at what goes into preparing for and carrying out rescues on Table Mountain.

The experience highlighted WSAR’s training and expertise, as well as the role the Cableway can play in supporting rescue operations.
The result was 29 pieces of coverage across broadcast, print and online media, following attendance from around 10 media representatives. SABC News was one of the standout pieces.

For us, the value was more than the coverage itself. It was giving journalists access to a story with real human interest and helping audiences understand the work happening behind the scenes to keep the mountain safe.

It’s been a busy few months at Alkemi. 👀

A little look at what we’ve been up to across PR, social, strategy and creative, and some of the people making it happen.

Briefs, shoots, pitches, events and everything in between.

Here’s what’s been keeping us busy lately.

Proud moment for the team: we've won Best of Show for Strategy and Gold for Integrated PR Strategy at , for our work with The Melrose Gallery celebrating the life and legacy of Dr Esther Mahlangu with the exhibition 'Then I Knew I Was Good at Painting: Esther Mahlangu, A Retrospective' curated by Nontobeko Ntombela.

Dr Mahlangu is one of Africa's most significant living artists, known worldwide for her collaborations with BMW and leading international galleries, and her distinctive Ndebele art. Despite that global stature, she'd never had a full retrospective here at home.

We set out to change that. Across Cape Town and Johannesburg, the campaign brought her career full circle, including the return of her iconic BMW Art Car to South African soil after more than 30 years.

The campaign reached 240 million people, generated 378+ media pieces and R69.6 million in AVE, and brought 23,928 people through the exhibition doors, all through earned media with no paid amplification.

It also gave South Africa a moment to celebrate one of its own.

Thank you to The Melrose Gallery, Craig Mark, Nontobeko Ntombela, Clint Strydom, BMW Group (Culture), Iziko Museums of South Africa, The WITS Art Museum (WAM) and the National Arts Council of South Africa (NAC) who helped bring this campaign to life.

Most of all, thank you to Dr Esther Mahlangu for giving us a legacy worth celebrating.

How many squares did you tick?

If you've worked in PR, chances are you'll recognise a few (or all) of them.

The deadlines, the approvals and the "quick tweaks" are all part of the job. However, the best communicators know that great PR has never been about making the most noise. It's about earning trust and creating conversations that matter.

Happy World PR Day!

We're proud to be partnering with Tiletoria as part of a joint venture team supporting the brand's next phase of growth.

To kick off the partnership, we helped deliver the launch of Tiletoria's new Spec lab showroom in Paarl – an exciting new space designed to inspire, innovate, and bring the latest design and product solutions closer to industry professionals.

The launch marked an important milestone for Tiletoria as it embarks on its ambitious five-year growth journey and was a great example of what can be achieved through collaboration, creativity, and a shared vision.

Thank you to the Tiletoria team for their trust, and to Bing Digital Video Production and Ja Nice Media for helping bring this exciting project to life.

We're looking forward to what's next.

The productivity gains from AI are real. So is the risk.

As work becomes faster, cheaper and easier to produce, what happens to the value of judgment?

In a new opinion piece, Alkemi Collective CEO Bradly Howland explores why organisations may be asking the wrong question about AI and why speed alone is not a competitive advantage.
