“At Black Fig Jam we focus on only a handful of services, nearly perfecting each one, in order to provide clients with the highest quality in our core services offered, instead of offering a wider variety of services of substandard quality. Our services include: South African Company Registrations; Branding and Corporate Identity Development; Print and Digital Graphic Design; Responsive Web Design; and Social Media Marketing Content. Each one of these services consist of various components, i.e. Logo Design, Company Branding, Company Profile Design, Office Stationery Design, Facebook Posts etc. Our skilled team works hard to ensure that each aspect of our service offering is of the highest possible quality for our clients.”

Company Name/Logo In today’s market, as many businesses move away from outsourcing and towards internalising solutions and reducing budgets for areas such as marketing and content creation, Black Fig Jam has worked hard to showcase the importance of its work and why true graphic design is an art, not merely another strain on resources, as Chanell is keen to emphasise.
“As a business operating in a competitive market, at Black Fig Jam everyone has an intense desire to teach the world what real graphic design is and how it will undeniably benefit businesses if used and applied correctly. The general perception of graphic design has earned a bad stigma in recent years as being a DIY job, when in reality being an exceptional graphic designer one must
have talent, imagination, an extensive skillset and vast general knowledge, making it a very specialized profession. Our aim is to deliver our benchmark services to businesses all over the world and prove that we are above-average talented. This is the challenge we have set for ourselves and this is what drives us. To redeem respect and admiration for our profession.”
“This poses quite the challenge as creativity cannot be rushed and good design takes time. It has been implied that this generation is willing to pay more for faster service, but they still expect high quality. At Black Fig Jam we have already overcome this hurdle by educating our clients about the processes involved in our services, expected outcomes and lead times aligned with their budgets. To satisfy our “instant gratification” clients we simply avail more skilled human resources to their projects.”
With the future stretched ahead of it and many challenges to overcome and opportunities to take advantage of, Black Fig Jam has many exciting years ahead, as Chanell is proud to conclude.
“Looking ahead, we will continue to prosper, and currently we are looking into the possibility of trying to assist in relieving some of the strain on our local economy due to unemployment, by means of cost-effective mobile design studios. This development and many more will drive us to even greater renown and success.”
“In recent years, life’s pace has increased rapidly with information available at your fingertips and online shopping being delivered to your doorstep within hours. This technologically driven age has created an “instant gratification” generation, who are now becoming our main clients to whom we’ve had to adapt to.”

Creative Allies Ltd: Best Freelance Creative Network 2019 - England A pioneer in the market, Creative Allies Ltd is the North’s first creative freelance network. Pavan Ward talks us through this innovative concept and how it is driving change in today’s media market. Established by creatives, for creatives, Creative Allies welcomes members from every creative discipline including Photography, Creative Directors, Videographers, Stylists, Editors, Make-up and many others. Pavan discusses how the network came to be and its ongoing focus on driving the region’s media market forward towards innovation.
“Since our inception, at Creative Allies our mission has always been to represent the best creativity in the North through ensuring we interview each creative we invite to join our network. We carried out intensive research last summer with freelancers and leading advertising agencies in the North to test the proposition and ensure this insight was plugged into our model.

“What we found was that agencies wanted to be reassured they were booking the best freelance creative talent. As such, we established Creative Allies to ensure they get this and also make it easy for them to book. Freelancers wanted to get paid on time and feel part of a team, and as such we pay them within 14 days and invite them to bi-monthly gatherings and ensure they feel part of something verses being a lone operator and they also collaborate with each other.” Having established a concept, Creative Allies interviewed over 300 people and invited 135 to join at launch in April and have since signed up more, taking the total to almost 200. Pavan is keen to showcase how the firm promotes its freelance allies and offers them the chance to work with a wide range of clients.
“As part of our focus on supporting our allies and offering them the best exposure possible, we promote them on our website and also through our social media channels. Now that we have launched the business we have a programme of social media under the umbrella of ‘Meet the Allies’, where we profile our creatives and get them noticed within the industry.
videography, photography, design, artwork, stylist for the shoot and a Creative Director to come up with the overarching campaign idea. This is just one example of the excellence we deliver for our clients.”
“As such, we give all of our freelancers a place to showcase their work. This is particularly important in today’s market, as exposure is vital, and many do not even have a website, so this is a great way for them to be seen. We also take away the pain of admin from them so that they can focus on doing what they do best - being a creative.”
“At Creative Allies, we are still relatively new to the market, and as such We are keen to learn, listen and evolve. Our vision is to make the model work the best it can in the North. We would then like to branch in to other areas of the country where there is a high penetration of freelancers that would benefit from being part of our network. This wouldn’t happen until year 3 and following more research.
Continuing to outline Creative Allies’ services, Pavan discusses how the firm benefits its clients and offers an example of the quality support it offers.
“For our clients, we provide creative services. We have designed a website which is easy to navigate for clients and freelancers. Clients can view portfolios for all our creatives and then we give them a log in to access the back end of the freelancer’s profile where they can view their availability and day rate. They simply highlight the days they want to book and then this generates an enquiry to the Creative Allies team who then confirm everything with both the freelancer and client. “As a team, we are on hand to offer advice to clients to help them find the right creative for their needs. We have recently worked directly with Leeds Grammar School, helping them with a campaign. After digesting their brief, we selected a number of creatives from our network to fulfil the brief. This included
Looking ahead, Pavan foresees even greater success for this flourishing, youthful and dynamic company.
“Additionally, we are also keen to collaborate with universities and colleges in the future and launch a Junior Allies Academy whereby we ask top creatives on our network to mentor up and coming creative talent. The Founder’s children were lucky to find jobs in the creative industry because we introduced them to the right people. Not every child has that opportunity, therefore we are keen to help the younger generation of creatives get some experience from industry leading creatives on our network. “Ultimately, Creative Allies will remain committed to revolutionising the creative industry throughout 2019 and further into the future, for the benefit of both clients and freelancers.” Company: Creative Allies Ltd Name: Pavan Ward Address: 1 Aire Street, Leeds, LS1 4PR Telephone Number: 07545246419 Web Address: creativeallies.co.uk

At the time, it had studio and office facilities it shared with co-owned advertising agency.
One of the firm’s most recent innovations is its Newslink solution, which is in the process of harnessing the eyes and ears of the world via their smartphones. The solution will feed breaking news through the proprietary Newslink cloud connection, to the subscribing TV, Radio, and newspapers of the world, direct form the scene as it happens. These would be Real Breaking News videos, not opinion and commentary. These Citizen Reporters will be paid for every second of video and audio news feed used by the media.
As business conditions changed, and as new opportunities and visions arose, the company’s name was changed to NewsCloudNews, Inc. in March of 2015, with a dba of NCNworld.com. The NewsCloudNews concept was first copyrighted by Charles Daugherty in 2011, and research and work on the new concept has been underway for the past five years.
Looking ahead, NCNWorld.com will continue to work on its Newslink project and strive towards greater innovation and invention for its clients across the broadcasting and news market.
