Getting acquainted with a brand

The recent sweep on South African creatives to bring the country in a new era by finding new ways to commemorate important days, empower the people and help the country grow. Is so evident it makes you smile when you see all that has been achieved. Coming right out of Human rights day has made one so proud of our heritage as Nike decided to celebrate by taking back the city and introducing people who would not have known other wise of the beauty that is the Johannesburg CBD. through a race that covered the entire area and brought do many people together. Being apart of it showed me exactly what they meant by reclaim the city as people came out in droves to support and be a part of. The feeling that another holiday has been reclaimed from the usual drinking and senseless partying made everyone there proud.

This showed every young person there how many opportunities we have for making a difference. Within our element  not changing who we are or becoming conservative just simply being ourselves and learning from it.
with that said i found other causes that celebrate being young as well as teach us about being a beautiful brand. these initiatives are always looking for volunteers and offer more than you can ever ask for.
Shout SA. is a crime stop campaign that helps people to take back their neighborhoods by giving them a safe channel of whistle blowing there are many ways to involve yourself just as the many celebrities have as an intern doing leg work and leasing for them to contact them Shout.SouthAfrica.co.za.
cheesekids.org.za this is an initiative formed by children of struggle veterans as a way to fight and alleviate poverty as well as help you can from being a mentor for someone younger than you or finding a mentor yourself.

there are many more organizations worth looking at like

These are all run by people looking to make a difference and open so many doors in terms of brand managing understanding as well as working with the biggest brands in the world as your sponsors there for allowing you to learn from them. This is further a way to keep you motivated make you informed as well as at the pulse of the countries issues. Without being forced to read false facts on twitter. This as well gives you the opportunity to be enlightened.
