The Kooks In South Africa: Video

Here’s a challenge for today, tell me which brand is doing consumer experiences better than 5Gum. Bands, venues, mechanics, consumer benefit vs ROI, etc, etc. 5 Gum ticks all the boxes. Am I bias because I’ve worked with the brand? Of course I am. That’s a stupid question. Are you bias about your choice of partner? That’s how it works when you choose to involve someone/something in your life. Is it any wonder I want to, and do, work with 5 Gum? If you have any doubt here’s a little something to remind you of their latest experience, The Kooks.

WIN A LOT with iStore

I know, that headline is a little vague, but there was no way for me list what you can win, there’s too much. Let me start from the beginning. iStore very kindly gave me (and a few other bloggers) a FULLY loaded iPad Mini (seriously, there are like, a million apps on this thing) as part of their World Of Possibilities campaign in which you can win 1 of 6 Macbook Airs, OR your dream trip worth R250 000. That’s right, a quarter of a MILLION Rand. Or, OR, R10 000 travel voucher from me. That’s right, I’m splitting my prize with you again. 50/50 baby.

#WHATUPRIBS At Jozi Craft Beer Fest

We (the MFCEOs of WHATUPRIBS) know that you are super bleak that you missed the latest Jozi Craft Beer Fest, but mostly that you missed the absolute awesomeness that is our dead pig in a cup, with a slice or two of home made NoMU garlic bread. That’s why we made another video for you, so you could get an idea, dare I say ‘a taste’, of exactly went down. To be precise, 205kgs of ribs went down, but I’ll let the moving pictures tell you the rest.

WIN A Trip To San Francisco With Nash

You read that correctly. With your help I’ll be going to San Francisco, and as a reward, I’ll be taking you with me. Here’s the deal. I’m currently in the last stage of a Levi’s campaign in which I, along with seven other South African dudes (photographers, editors, creatives), give our take on the Levi’s 501s. The prize is a years supply of Levi’s 501 and an all expenses paid trip to San Francisco. The problem is, it’s vote based, and you know the B&N policy on this. If I ask for something, I must give something, so, I’m giving away one half of the prize (a fully paid for trip to San Francisco), plus the full year of Levi’s denim, and all you have to do is vote for me.  Details below.

Coachella 2013 – The Lowdown on the Line-up

By Kurt Duvel
