Isabeau the Zen master joins the Cherryflava team
Posted on 09. Sep, 2010 by Jonathan Cherry.
We’ve been on the hunt for a creative heavy-hitter here at Cherryflava for some time. Somebody that is used to having their name listed as a Loeries finalist, a talent that extends beyond the confines of socially acceptable design thinking, an individual that brings a new balance to the team. After making the request, the universe brought us a trained Shiatsu practitioner who kills the trail running circuit in her spare time and eats colourful, Knysna, forest birds for breakfast.
Isabeau will be taking on a couple of big experiential projects that we have in the pipeline and bringing peace to an otherwise franetic fourth quarter of 2010.
Amandla Edufootball are now connected to the WWW
Posted on 19. Aug, 2010 by Jonathan Cherry.
During the World Cup, ourselves together with Iain Harris from Coffeebeans Routes collaborated with Nike in Chicago and an inner city youth programme over there to connect them with a local football academy in Khayalitsha called Amandla Edufootball. As part of the exchange Nike provided the club with a video camera, a laptop and two years of wireless Internet access so that they can share their inspirational stories with the world.
Now finally – the future stars of Bafana Bafna get to make their video debut on the web. This is their first video that they shot straight after getting a few tips yesterday on how to use the equipment.

Cherryflava has been nominated for a Men’s Health award
Posted on 20. Jul, 2010 by Jonathan Cherry.
Yeah – we were as dumbfounded as you to received word that we cracked the nod to be included with Nic Haralambous and Yusaf Abramjee as one of the three nominees for the Game Changer category in this year’s Men’s Health Best Men 2010 awards.
It’s obviously a huge honour and we feel rather bashful about the whole thing, but in the interests of democracy and the preservation of free speech and freedom of association please head over there and make your mark next to your candidate of choice.
While you’re at it, perhaps consider giving Mr Brad Armitage [from our other office at Brewers & Union] your vote in the Trendsetter category We think that validation is well-deserved.
Steenberg’s Twitter tasting – great success

Steenberg Twitter tasters
We’re still staring lovingly at greasy, toasted cheese and ham sandwiches and neat espresso shots after last night’s Steenberg Twitter tasting. Wine tasting via a live Twitter feed is nothing new internationally, but it was one of the first times the idea had been put to the sword in South Africa and we were stoked to have been a part of it’s creation.
The conversation online was lively [more so the further down the range we got], and the feedback very useful for the Steenberg team.

Take a peep
After four very successful BRAND HOOLIGANS and SecondBase events this year – Cherryflava will be finishing off 2009 with the debut of our very own marketing talk show which we’ve baptised ‘The Cherryflava Peep Show’.
If you’re a fan of Fokofpolisiekar, Dave Levinsohn, Justin Bonello, Bed on Bricks or us – it would be very rude of you not to reserve a ticket or two for next week’s show.
Tickets are going fast – so if you’re keen to see the live show, please check out the details here and let us know.
It’s on Wednesday 18 November at the New Space Theatre in the city. Starts at 18h30 – ends at 20h00 and should be a hoot.
BTW – if you aren’t able to make it, we’re having the whole thing filmed [it is a TV talk show after all] which will be posted on Zoopy

Our guest line-up includes:
Rockers Fokofpolisiekar
