On the Dot supports KanyeKanye - driven to do good, whilst doing good business
On the Dot's relationship with KanyeKanye started last year when they (OtD) were sourcing creative 'thank you gifts' for their clients. The Headlines brand makes use of unsold newspapers and creates products rolled from the newsprint. They have trained 22 previously unskilled people in Gauteng on how to make the components, which are then assembled and finished at their factory in Randburg. On the Dot had purchased some stunning photo frames made out of rolled newspaper. "This year we needed conference bags (gift bags) which was something that they did not do, but it made perfect sense to add this to their collection of product designs. On the Dot again supported this great initiative and allowed them to take their time to test designs and come back with a solid product," says Dalene Muller, Commercial Manager - Marketing, On the Dot. 28 Jun 2018 Read more
