Sunday Funday took on a new meaning when DJ Fresh and Kfm 94.5 hosted the #KfmSummerFeels launch last week. Cape Town faces toasted to summer at the V&A's Life Grand Cafe as part of the celebrations, with DJ Fresh broadcasting live from the event in addition to getting the crowd into the summer feels by dropping some of his best beats during his live set.
The event wrapped up with the filming of the Ultimate Summer Music video, featuring Cape Town's cool set including Zola Nene, Siv Ngesi and Craig Lucas, against the backdrop of DJ Fresh and Shona’s latest release, Icarus.
“During our 2018 brand campaign, we showcased our love for the city by cleverly inserting the “K” in our logo into key locations in Cape Town. This was represented in our creative and activation executions, highlighting areas in the Cape featuring a K - Sybrand Park, Plattekloof, Kensington, Tokai and Kenilworth (to name a few). We really wanted to celebrate our audience, Cape Town’s iconic suburbs as well as the inclusiveness in our on-air offering. Kfm 94.5 is a unique radio brand in the Cape and our diverse audience make-up allows us to speak and engage with all the people who call the city their home”, said Saskia Hickey, Senior Marketing Manager, Kfm 94.5.
Hickey added: “Through this new brand campaign #KfmSummerFeels, we are celebrating the music that our audience loves. Creatively, we decided to build on the design concept of the last campaign by adding the “K” to highlight some of the key artists on our musical playlist for example, Beyonce Knowles, Kold Play and Black Coffee. We understand the power that music has to move people, lift spirits and create connections and through the campaign we are celebrating the Mother City’s love of music.”
The campaign, currently in progress, takes a three-phased approach and is driven through above the line advertising, a public relations and influencer movement, social media, activations and on-air content.
