Jo’burg Creative Hop

Published by Tracy Scott February 22nd, 2007 in General

Ever wished you could go on an Apprentice Challenge and an Amazing Race all at the same time? Well, the Creative Hop is just that! Avo launched this great new product with a dynamic Brand Development Team. The ‘taxi ‘ arrived to collect us and the three teams hopped on board, not knowing what lay ahead…

The day began with a Funky Fashion Challenge in the Garment District. Each team was assigned one seamstress and were given 1h30 minutes to design, shop for and execute their design. The winning team managed to get an entire dress made, complete with matching bag! I guess that’s the power of serious team work!

Next up was a reflective exercise in the Joburg Art Gallery followed by lunch and a mad race through the Oriental Plaza to find Henna for a tattoo challenge. After containing the security guards (who were convinced that something serious was going on) the teams were left to bolt around the plaza. Teams had to decide whether to stop and ask for help or to simply rush around blindly in the hope of stumbling upon their treasure. The winning team found a magnificent kit but it cost them a whopping R60.00. The next team in spent R11.00 and the final team spent a mere R7.00. As it all turned out, the expensive kit created the most beautiful tattoo and so that team won both the race and the challenge.

We then slowed the pace and were treated to scones, tea and a tour at the magnificent Rand Club. The elegant library served as a fine place for the teams to design an appropriate event for one of their brands. The day ended at the top of the Carlton Centre where the other challenges were played out.

It was a fabulous day of real team building around some creative opportunities. We have a rich and fascinating city on our door step. We invite you to come and play!

When i see you creating these interventions, i am just blown away by what you come up with and your natural talent, in seeing what the take outs should be and what people need to help them grow in their business environments…not to mention the value adds n their personal lives.

Having been one of the people to go on this Joburg Hop i can truly say that the experience has stuck with me since. Tracy is a truly passionate and inspiring person to be around, her knowledge and the way she imparts these pearls is truly worth every second.

Thank you Tracy and Avo, it was an enlightening experience.
