BrandsRock (Pty) Ltd was founded by Mike Joubert in Sept 2009.
It was a through-the-line brand solutions agency with offices in Cape Town & Johannesburg. They operated with a team of over 40 experienced, skilled individuals who understood business, brands, strategy and the best creative marketing programs needed to deliver results - be it sales or equity or both.
The BrandsRock Group serviced a portfolio of blue chip clients with four integrated offerings - marketing & brand strategy; creative design & advertising; full digital engagement and shopper marketing & experiential brand activations through their amp ACTIVATIONS division. The delivery of their work was rooted in a solid project management methodology.
BrandsRock was also the only full specialist music-marketing agency in South Africa. They provide a simple, effective way in which to negotiate brand partnerships and match clients with like-minded artists through branded events and festivals.
In delivering the best brand-solutions, BrandsRock sometimes collaborated with specialist partners geared to execute against specific client needs.
