The new South African Minister of Sport, Arts and Culture, Gayton McKenzie, has announced that the government will no longer fund "super fans" - extremely enthusiastic and dedicated fans who attend multiple sporting events and promote their love for sports on social media. The decision has sparked a heated debate online, with some people rejoicing and others upset. Super fans, like Mama Joy Chauke and Botha Msila, are seen as brand ambassadors for South Africa, but others argue that the money spent on their trips could be better used to support struggling athletes and artists. The minister's decision aims to promote transparency and accountability in the use of public funds.

Do you know why Orry was seated in the first row whereas Vikrant Massey was placed on the third at a Filmfare award? Because even though Vikrant Massey is more talented than Orry, Orry has built a strong brand for himself through marketing. Same goes for you. You may be more experienced and deserving, but your competitors are not only stealing the limelight but also the business because their marketing strategy is on point. Think about it! #NicheDominanceWizard #SocialMediaMarketing

Well, that game certainly didn't disappoint. And the market wasn't bad either. It still remains to be seen whether the powers that be (i.e., the casino owners) want Vegas to host another #SuperBowl, but it seems to have been a great day/weekend/week in Sin City. Let's have another great week by starting it with opening nominations for the Nice Guy/Gal Awards. Every Friday, I’ll share nominations for people who have been identified as nice guys (and gals). If you want to nominate someone, just shoot me a private message by 5:00 EDT on Thursday. There are only 3 requirements: 1) you have to be connected to the person you nominate 2) you can only nominate one person per week 3) you can’t nominate yourself 😀   If you want to provide a brief reason for your selection, that’s great, but it’s not a requirement. Let’s recognize people who make a difference simply by being nice. Have a great day, everyone. https://lnkd.in/ei8mg2Qa   #network #sportsbiz #people #niceguy #networking #sportsmarketing

Great work from Cary E. Dawes / Claire Rendell (FCIPD) / Tim Clover and all the crew from the Rayner PCHQ team... talking passionately about the vital importance of visibility, recognition and reward - and then delivering a superb Awards announcement to the company around the globe. OurSecretLab are exceptionally proud to be collaborating with the Presidents Club HQ (PCHQ) incentive team at Rayner. Just recently, together with our long-time film production partners Sonder Design Ltd, we collaborated to create a set-up that felt like it was appropriate for this great celebration, even when delivered to a global audience remotely. Indeed, how you deliver on the myriad of components of any incentive program, especially a comprehensive one that rewards both the sales functions, and other global non-sales functions, is as important as the main trip itself. How you do anything, is how you do everything... As a company, you have asked for the very best possible, in the reality that you have. Looking to inspire, and help support, excellence as standard... in all aspects of how you go about your business. So it seems completely reasonable, that the company should get behind that workflow when it comes to the reward portion of that deal. And that's where we have been from the start. Our senior client team at Rayner have always indicated like the Mandalorian's they are, that - this is the way - they want the program to run... incentivising the truly unstoppable, with the truly unforgettable - taking the time and effort to ensure that every aspect of the program feels like it's a mirror of the efforts it took to win a spot in the first place. Truly exceptional output, rewarded with similarly meaningful and positive input. Equal parts inclusive, and exclusive. Equitable rewarding, if you will. So, so good. Let's go... ___ #brandfilm #communications #creative #events #film #incentives #travel
