The Big Idea

Leverage major events and multi-platform media coverage to showcase Cape Town’s cultural vibrancy and event-hosting capabilities, securing global recognition.

Execution

C.S.A. played a key role in executing and publicizing several high-profile events:

  • FIFA World Cup Fan Walk 2009: Created a 2.4km cultural street festival leading to the stadium, hailed as one of the most spectacular World Cup events and attracting global media coverage.
  • FIFA World Cup Host City Launch 2010: Delivered a large-scale stage event, featuring a performance by R. Kelly, to mark Cape Town’s official role as a World Cup Host City.
