STRONG PR, Marketing and Events is proudly celebrating its third anniversary – a milestone marked by bold ideas, meaningful connections and a commitment to turning strategic planning into unforgettable moments.
Built on the belief that intentional planning creates lasting impact, STRONG PR has spent the past three years helping brands connect with purpose – whether through intimate boardroom sessions or large-scale corporate events.
“If there’s one lesson that’s held true, it’s that time spent planning is never wasted. Thoughtful preparation allows us to unlock creativity, avoid chaos and most importantly – make space for people,” says co-founder Herkie Du Preez.
As businesses approach the final stretch of the year, STRONG PR is encouraging leaders to rethink their approach to year-end functions – not just as an obligation, but as an opportunity to recognise and reward.
“Recognition isn’t just a function – it’s a moment to pause and say, ‘You matter.’ Whether it’s a black-tie gala or a backyard braai, what matters most is making people feel seen,” adds Du Preez.
STRONG PR’s top tips for meaningful year-end events:
• Make it personal: Real names. Real stories. Real impact.
• Prioritise emotion over extravagance: A heartfelt toast beats a flashy show.
• Put your people on stage: Let them share, shine and be celebrated.
• Surprise and delight: The small details leave the biggest impressions.
• Start early: Great planning = smooth execution.
