Kagiso has worked with the following organizations:

SABC

SABC

Kagiso has produced educational programming for the SABC for 14 years, including the 10 year run of teacher development programming, 8 years of business and entrepreneurial programmes, 3 seasons of youth voter education material and a flagship documentary series on great achievers in the African continent, among many others.

STANDARD BANK

Standard Bank

Kagiso TV has most recently conducted two campaigns on behalf of Standard Bank. Firstly the Financial Literacy Community Outreach campaign taking information about budgeting, banking, saving and managing credit to various communities in rural and peri-urban settings at the beginning of 2009. As a result of the campaign; knowledge on financial matters was increased, with community members being encouraged to prioritise needs over wants. Importantly, the initiative also emphasised to communities that banks are accessible and do not only cater for an exclusive group and was a significant step in building trust and a healthy relationship between the Bank and the unbanked.

Secondly through the Basics of Banking training, Kagiso TV and Communications trained 430 small business owners who are loan recipients under Standard Bank's Community Investment Fund during August and September 2009. The customized programme used multimedia formats (video, audio tracks and learner workbooks) to accommodate participants with low literacy levels. The content was designed to cover business financial management and personal financial management. Participants gained valuable lessons and the training seems to have planted a seed to encourage the business owners to do things differently; mainly to keep proper records and to separate business and personal income.

REA VAYA BUS RAPID TRANSIT SYSTEM

Rea Vaya

The City of Johannesburg was looking for a communication company that could combine traditional forms of communication, with other less traditional forms, that seek to educate in order to change people's perceptions and behaviours and ultimately get bums on seats.

This is possibly one of the most demanding projects undertaken by Kagiso TV & Communications due to the political sensitivity and the ongoing interaction with high level stakeholders. Rea Vaya was the first BRT in Africa and the first in South Africa to be launched. It was a highly challenging project which required many different methods of communicating from outreach to 30 000 Soweto residents to weekly press conferences during crisis periods and even some above the line advertising. Kagiso was instrumental in the final launch period in ensuring a successful and well publicized roll out which resulted in excellent patronage of the system.

DEPARTMENT OF ARTS AND CULTURE (DAC)

Department of Arts & Culture

The Department of Arts and Culture through the South African Geographical Names Council (SAGNC), was tasked with the responsibility to standardise and transform names of geographical features. The SAGNC was expected to facilitate and conduct nationwide public hearings to encourage national dialog on issues of geographical names. This process entails communities being involved in the identification of the new geographical names.

Kagiso TV and communications was commissioned by the Department of Arts and Culture to manage the stakeholder consultation process and build publicity around the events. This is a national project, that is conducted in each province, with 500 stakeholders attending per province. It commenced in October 2008 in Mpumalanga province. So far, 5 provinces have had public hearings and 4 more to go in 2010!

Gauteng Film Commission (GFC)

Gauteng Film Commission

Kagiso TV & Communications was commissioned by GFC, an agency of the Gauteng Provincial Government to render Marketing and PR consultancy services from April 2008 - May 2009. Our work involved interpreting and communicating the brand to specific target audiences, requiring a mix of skills and channels, and promoting Gauteng locally & internationally as a location destination while increasing public awareness of our film industry.

We produced a video promoting Gauteng as a film location destination, as well as a production hub and gateway to Africa. This video was shown in Hollywood, Los Angeles and Cannes, at 2 major film events in SA and as part of the SA film industry exhibition. During this campaign location awareness through PR grew by 20%, media exposure grew by 325%, subscription to the GFC monthly newsletter by 45,8% and website visits grew by 114%.
