25 years ago, Takalani Sesame aired its very first episode — and sparked a movement in South African children's educational television.

⭐️ With over 39 million viewers in its first decade, it didn’t just entertain — it shaped minds, sparked curiosity, and celebrated our diversity.

Today, it remains a powerful example of how media can drive meaningful change.

As a partner supporting this iconic brand, we’re proud to play a small part in its big legacy — proving that purpose and creativity can go hand-in-hand.

Here’s to the joy of learning, the magic of muppets, and the impact of storytelling done right. 🧡

🏆 We’re crying! Are you? Last week our team attended the New Generation Awards in Johannesburg for 8 nominations & we took home a Black Onyx award for Shaheed Rajab as the best agency community engagement manager of the year!

We’re so grateful to have such incredible humans who make up who we are and the work that we do. Shaheed wasn’t able to attend the awards, it was accepted by our Head of Digital, Casey and Junior Partner Manager Boity.

Our Cape Town team hosted a watch party to be there in spirit! For our FIRST year entering awards, this has been an incredible run! 2025… we hope you’re ready!
