By Catherine We were recently involved in a PR campaign for a client where we had to help produce a series of short videos to promote one of their sponsorship events. It got me thinking: is content creation limited to just the written word? Obviously not. After all, content in a business context is information that your customer consumes - but the medium may vary.

by Belinda I RSVPed to this event on a whim when a friend sent me the invitation - and I'm so glad I did. Being a business owner in Cape Town, when most of our clients are in Joburg, means that you can feel quite isolated. I'm not part of a big agency. I'm not working late at night surrounded by a team of other people. And while there are many upsides to this, it was wonderful last night to be surrounded by like-minded women working in creative industries, and feed off the energy and enthusiasm in the room.

These days, outsourcing your copywriting function or content creation to an external resource is becoming increasingly common. After all, it makes sense to hand over this job to a specialist: it saves you time, and also allows you to outsource a task that may not necessarily come naturally to you or your colleagues. But even if you use someone else to do your content creation, it's still absolutely essential that you're involved in the process.

We recently had to submit some professional images of us and we realised that we last had photos taken around five years ago! Lots has changed since then. One of us has started running Ultra marathons (not me). The other one has changed her hair colour (me). We've gained new clients, learned some lessons and grown both as a business and as people. So we wanted some new photos to reflect the new us.
