The Drip Edition 10

Written by Carla Gontier on September 13, 2019.

“Don’t call me, I’ll call you.” This is not – despite what those of you who know me might think – a plea for people to stop phoning me. I am in fact off to New York next week, and I’ll be taking a three week break from The Drip as I swan about New […]

The Drip Edition 9

Written by Carla Gontier on September 6, 2019.

Hey guys, You may have noticed we skipped last week. I am sorry. Can you forgive me? I was quite sick and travelling and working on a number of different projects all week, and by the time I landed at 4:45pm on Friday afternoon, I was just too shattered and sick to even contemplate writing […]

I don’t really know what to say about this week. It has been incredibly busy and a little frustrating. It was one of those hurry-up-and-wait weeks, where you mission to do things and then don’t hear back from the people who urgently needed you to work on the things. C’est la (advertising) vie. But in […]

Welcome back to all you wonderful humans😊 It’s Friday and that means it’s THE COLLECTIVE DRIP TIME! And obviously (less exciting than my newsletter, but still a thrill) – the weekend!

It’s FRIIIIIDAAAYYYY! I’m in an exceptionally good mood today, mostly because it’s finally not raining in Cape Town, and the weather is perfectly crisp and still. This week I stuck to my promise (mostly) and journaled every day. It felt super productive and helped me organise my thoughts in a clear and structured way, and […]

This week my colleague Olivia (Iconic Collective’s ECD) and I attended the Facebook Future Of Retail event hosted in Cape Town. There were talks from a number of industry leaders, including Bruno Bertrand, Digital Commerce & Marketing Director at Estée Lauder. It was very insightful and I think it reinforced a lot about what we […]

Phew. What. A. Week. I had the best week travelling to Joburg. We have so many exciting new projects on the go, I am bursting at the seams to get them all actioned! Last week Friday The Point and Iconic Collective team held an Innovation Day at Unilever and it was a huge success. It really […]

Ahoy there! Welcome back, and hello to any new visitors. I have had a good week. Some of it’s been frustrating (you know when you give a presentation and you just feel like it could have gone so much better? That). Some of it has been super exciting! Our innovation day in Durban […]

Welcome, Wamkelekile, Bienvenue It’s been a FREEZING cold week in Cape Town, and I am on top of a heater right now, cuddling my fluffy and very naughty little labrador. It is a dreary Thursday evening as I type this, and I am re-watching The Sopranos (the best show ever by the way, if you […]

Welcome back to The Collective Drip! It’s that time of the week again. The time when – if you’ll allow me to – I’ll take up a few minutes of your life to highlight a few things happening in the world that interest me. But first, a bit about this week. Some of the Cape Town […]
