After immediately pivoting in June 2020, launching our Virtual and Digital Production Services, Studio Masson tasked us to develop a ‘first of its kind’ pre-recorded digital production which would ultimately be broadcast live, via streaming, to architects and interior designers in 52 countries across the globe.

The 3-month project involved developing and producing a virtual lifestyle programme to showcase the brand’s latest product offerings from Italian manufacturers, Fiandre, Sapienstone and SICIS aimed at the decerning client specialising in the ultimate in architecture and interior design. #Coutourliving was developed to show a direct link between design, fashion, food, and sustainability allowing you to live your best life.

The lifestyle show incorporated several segments to form a 52-minute broadcast. A fashion segment was produced, along with our collaborator, Mary Reynolds, which featured local South African fashion designer, Stefania Moreland, and international models.

The second segment was produced showcasing Sapienstone induction tops, where a live food demonstration was filmed with world renowned chef Gregory Czarnecki.

The third segment introduced sustainability and the green technology used by the various brands, which included interviews with the Greening Council of South Africa.

Pre-recorded interviews with all the CEOs of the various Italian brands were edited and incorporated to form a worldwide address directly from the manufacturer to architects and interior designers on every continent.

Our brand collaborator, Liezel Van Der Westhuizen, was recruited to conduct thought provoking interviews with the owners of Studio Masson and other stakeholders to pull the entire show together. Directed by our film collaborator, Andrew Black, and his 30-film crew, ensured that the quality of the production was of the highest international standard

S Squared Creative Projects was approached to take this technology and push the envelope resulting in a ground-breaking medical Webinar Series. 3 times 60-minute pre-packaged webinars were streamed which included a live, in studio, panel discussion with local experts allowing delegates to engage while watching the broadcast. The purpose was to share skills, knowledge, and medical treatments from world experts involving 470 delegates from 45 countries.

We produced pre-recorded keynote and panel discussions involving 16 doctors and medical experts from 7 countries including, Brazil, Canada, India, USA, Ethiopia, Tanzania and UK. Doctors and speakers were recorded on-line, in Cape Town, whilst delivering their keynotes in their respective countries.

Detailed sponsorship packages were developed, along with our client, to give the 3 global sponsors, Essity Medical Solutions (South Africa)), MD Orthopaedics (USA) and Steps Worldwide (UK)a high return on their investment. This included, CEO welcome videos, integration of sponsor commercials, and integration of sponsor Edu-marketing videos.

International Turkish Fashion Brand, LC Waikiki, decided to open stores in South Africa in 2018. The brand started their roll-out for the Western Cape in Cape Town opting to open the first store in Tygervalley Shopping Centre, located in the Northern Suburbs. Together with our strategic collaborative partner, Nicole Cappa, we were tasked to develop a comprehensive project charter, which had to include the conceptualisation of a formal opening and launch as well as a national PR and marketing campaign for brand awareness. The brand expectations were high and international standards were essential to meet the brand’s image and status within the global fashion industry.

The project scope included media management, celebrity and influencer procurement and management for the formal VIP launch hosted by the brand’s international management team and above-the line marketing agency (Turkey). A high-impact fashion show open to the public ending in a ribbon cutting ceremony formally inviting the consumer to step onto the LC Waikiki ‘blue carpet’ and be welcomed into the new store. S Squared Creative Projects was responsible for producing the fashion show, along with our collaborative partner, Mary Reynolds.

The scope of work included designing and manufacturing the stage, lighting, sound direction, scripting, and crowd management. Procuring all the models and talent, crew, and technical logistics as well as choreography were part of the project deliverables. A high-energy fashion showcase open to the public celebrating all men’s, ladies and kids fashion ranges was the exciting result. The fashion show took viewers on an evolving 24-hour fashion journey explaining how LC Waikiki takes care of you from morning to night, and has you covered for all activities and occasions. 

A formal media launch was organised to introduce the brand to fashion media and a influencers and offer the international management team the opportunity to host media and VIP guests and engage, network and form relationships. A separate area was created for all to enjoy high-end canapés and cocktails while an exclusive private tour of the store was hosted by the brand’s international management team prior to the official ribbon cutting opening ceremony.

The world of fashion is changing, and brands are more aware than ever that products need to be designed with a holistic view focusing on inclusivity. S Squared Creative Projects was brought on to produce a campaign focused on men’s fashion that features plus size male ready to wear fashion. Although the key messaging is critically important the client wanted the experience and campaign to be high-energy and fun. #plusisequal was launched in 2019 to disrupt the industry and change public perceptions.

Collaborating with our client 20 Across, who managed all aspects of the PR campaign, we were tasked with the management of the national casting call, including the formal judging process. S Squared Creative Projects directed and produced the fashion shoot for the national campaign and an exciting and high-energy fashion show featuring South African born plus size designer Jade Campbell, held at the Radisson Red Hotel in Cape Town, who was also brought on to be a sponsor. You only need to look at the stock found on many national retailers’ shelves today to see what is possible through an impactful national public relations campaign combined with narrative based experiences, the project exceeded all expectations.

Working with the S (Squared) Creative Projects team on the historic #PlusIsEqual fashion show at the Radisson RED Hotel V&A Waterfront, Cape Town was nothing short of spectacular. Sean and his team immediately understood that hosting South Africa’s first plus-size men’s fashion show would be a large undertaking for both my agency as well as for my client, and left no stone unturned until every detail of the campaign was thoroughly thought through. What ensued was a successful campaign and breathtaking event that left people speechless and wanting more. We couldn’t have achieved all of that alone and are exceptionally grateful for all the expertise and dedication that was shared with us.

Unitrans is the largest trucking company on the continent and as part of their community outreach programmes, the company felt it is critically important to create awareness amongst road users of the challenges and dangers truck drivers face on the roads.

We were approached to develop a high impact activation to encourage the public to participate and engage with Unitrans to increase awareness in 2018 and 2019. The scope of work included conceptualisation of an interesting and entertaining activation which aimed to encourage the public to participate.

Tyger Valley Shopping Centre was selected and a large area in the parking lot at the busiest entrance was cordoned off to house a multitude of activities including one of the Unitrans trucks, where the public could sit in the cab and see how large the blind spot of a truck is.

There were a series of challenges and games for the public of all ages, including children, to participate in winning exciting prizes. S Squared Creative Projects was responsible for all media management including inviting celebrities, journalists, influencers and the Head of the Traffic Depart – Cape Town. A fun day was had by all with over 1000 members of the public participating.

I am proud to be associated with Sean Lane from S (Squared) Creative Projects who has assisted USCS (Pty) Ltd in our last two safety campaigns. Not only did he prove himself to be creative and innovative with respect to ideas and the application thereof, but also impressed with his energy, passion and attention to detail. This spirit of serving the customer filtered through his whole organisation so that all his staff arrived at the venues with the same energy and commitment. He is well connected and always delivered sponsors and high-profile celebrities to add flavour and authenticity to the campaigns. I appreciated that he speaks his mind to ensure the customer considers as many options as possible, but still managed to manage and/or adjust the costs to meet the budget requirements. They have never failed to meet and exceed our expectations, always pitched on time and ensured every campaign delivered the intended message despite unpredictable weather variations. We will certainly be relying on him and his team to continue this trend in the campaigns to come and I can confidently recommend them to anybody who wants to deliver a message in new and creative ways
