We have shared these #unlimitedopportunities, as well as the #buylocal campaign, with the public through dedicated media releases. With the investment portfolio still being developed, we are focusing on specific growth sectors for each quarter while targeting specialised media outlets. Through our efforts, we received free exposure in several publications, including South Africa Today, My Durban, Marketing Spread, Rising Sun (Chatsworth), My Pressportal, the South Coast Weekly Gazette, and South Coast Herald, among others. We also shared the #buylocal messaging with an interview on Radio Sunny South.
