CK Communications

20/11/2025

As an all-female team working in PR, strategy and storytelling, we spend our days amplifying voices, shaping narratives and helping organisations be heard.

But tomorrow, the message we stand behind is far bigger: 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝟏𝟓 𝐰𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧 𝐦𝐮𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐀𝐟𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐚, 𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐋𝐆𝐁𝐓𝐐𝐈+ 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐬 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐯𝐢𝐨𝐥𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐮𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲. It is a stand against brutality that has become unbearably ordinary.

Gender-based violence is not an issue for “women” to fix - it is a national emergency cutting across gender, sexuality, identity, and community. This Shutdown is a reminder that silence is not neutral. Visibility matters. Disruption matters. Stories matter.

Tomorrow’s G20 Women’s Shutdown is not just another moment on the calendar - 𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐜𝐫𝐲, 𝐚 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐤𝐨𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚 𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐰𝐞 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫.

We stand with survivors, with activists and with every person who has felt unsafe, unheard, or unseen. We encourage you to take part in any way you can:

✨ 𝐉𝐨𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝟏𝟓-𝐌𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐭𝐞 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥 - Lie down for 15 minutes at 12pm to honour the 15 women murdered every day.
✨ 𝐖𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐛𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐤
✨𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐞 𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐥𝐞. Let the Shutdown be visible online.
✨ 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞. 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞. 𝐒𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐞. Talk about it. Post about it. Use and help make this movement too loud, too unified and too powerful to overlook.

Tomorrow, we show our solidarity - not out of defeat, but out of defiance. Out of love. Out of hope for a South Africa where every woman and every LGBTQI+ person, is valued and protected.

🎉 Happy birthday to our superstar Account Manager, Ashley! 🎉

Ashley is the definition of reliable brilliance - never one to back down from a challenge, she’ll happily wrestle a deadline into submission (and still find time to make it look good). 💪✨

Her copywriting is sharp, her design eye sharper, and her energy? Calm, sunny, and effortlessly uplifting - the kind of presence every remote team dreams of. ☀️💻

We’re endlessly grateful for your hard work, creativity, and all the smiles you bring to CK Communications. Have the best day, Ashley! 💛🎂

We’ve added a little more caffeine and chlorophyll to our client stable ☕🌱

Welcome to the family, The Garden Gallery & Café - a leafy Edenvale, JHB gem where good coffee meets green thumbs.

We’ll be brewing up fresh ideas and growing their digital presence (pun 100% intended).

✨ Sometimes, the best part of creating content is the bloopers. This time, it was our turn!

We’re usually on the receiving end of hilarious outtakes from our clients - but recently we decided to step into their shoes and share a reel of our own behind-the-scenes mishaps. 🎬😂

A huge shout-out to the Agrisales team for always keeping it real (and fun!). If you haven’t already, head over to Agrisales Magazine and see what they’re up to - you’ll quickly see why we love working with them. 🙌

Farmers grow food 🌾
We grow content 📸🎥
(and occasionally double as human tent pegs when the wind picks up 😅)

All in a day’s work for the CK Crew 💪

Lovely day at Maritzburg College covering the KZN Toyota SA Kwanalu 2025 Young Farmer of the Year Award.

Congratulations Dale Hutton on a worthy win with your innovative dairy enterprise! Be sure to try the Hutton-family's artisanal ice cream, Fat Cow Creamery.

🎉 Pop the confetti and slice the cake… it’s Tegan Thompson's birthday! ✨

Our brilliant GM is another year older (and even wiser 😉). Thank you for keeping the team smiling, and for all that you do behind the scenes to keep everything running smoothly ❤

Here’s to another year of success and all the happiness you deserve! 🌈

#𝐒𝐇𝐄𝐌𝐎𝐕𝐄𝐒𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐊: This Women’s Month, we honour the resilience and leadership of the women who move milk - and so much more.

For our 𝐃𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫, 𝐀𝐧𝐢𝐤𝐚 𝐝𝐞 𝐁𝐫𝐮𝐢𝐧, becoming a mother while holding a leadership role was one of her biggest personal and professional challenges, but with support, sounds structures in place and showing up with purpose, she’s learned that asking for help and setting clear priorities isn’t a weakness - it’s a strength.

🥛 “𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐦𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 - 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐚𝐬 𝐚 𝐜𝐨𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐠𝐮𝐞.”

Women consistently rise to the challenges of the dairy industry with determination, resilience and a deep passion for the work.

🥛 “𝐖𝐞 𝐛𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐭𝐡, 𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚 𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐞 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐝𝐝𝐬 𝐯𝐚𝐥𝐮𝐞 𝐚𝐭 𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐲 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐢𝐧 - 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐬-𝐨𝐧 𝐩𝐫𝐨𝐝𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐜 𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭.”

Anika is one of many women shaping the future of South African dairy with compassion, clarity, and grit. At Tip Top Milk, we’re proud to walk alongside her and so many others who move the industry forward, every day.
