We look back fondly at the most amazing experience with Olam International. Putting together a conference in our beautiful Mother City for international guests was not only a 2019 highlight but also a career and company highlight.
We loved working with the team in putting together a highly memorable and superbly organised conference. Now 2020 is all about virtual.

Olam, an International leading food and agri-business, appointed The Lime Envelope to facilitate the organisation’s annual Global Finance Meet.
The 2019 event took place in the beautiful city of Cape Town where the core mission was to create an unforgettable South African experience. The Lime Envelope was tasked with handling travel and accommodation arrangements from booking of the hotel, to managing airport transfers and shuttle and VIP transfer services to and from the conference centre. The agency also facilitated the bookings for international speakers, as well as sourcing top-quality entertainment for the week’s conference and bringing in a five-star Indian chef to exclusively cook for the guests. All gifting, branding and unique collateral were sourced by The Lime Envelope team to create memorable experiences throughout. An interactive App was developed for the conference, giving delegates access to key conference information, feedback forums, Q&A’s and a host of entertainment options.
The team was instrumental in producing a jaw-dropping opening ceremony and coordinating a successful conference stream and masterclasses, coupled with precision planning to create fantastic fun ventures such as a Catamaran cruise, a Cape Carnival festival at the Grand Beach Cafe, a unique wine experience at an exclusive farm - where guests blended their own wine - and more. The week’s conference was rounded off with a world-class awards evening.
Match in Africa 6 event highlights
The Roger Federer Foundation required localised PR that would not only generate awareness for the Match In Africa 6 exhibition match but also for the breaking of a world record. The agency worked with the International Communication’s team as the South African representatives managing the drafting and issuing of press releases, setting up of media interviews, liaising with local and international media, media accreditation, media centre management, management of the various media events including press briefings, mixed zone interviews, Q&A’s with key spokespeople, management of media photographers and briefings, exclusive Dubai international media one-on-one interviews with Roger Federer, social media management, website management and reporting.
The challenge was successfully met with a record breaking 51 945 spectators/fans watching the match live in the stadium; with the event raising a total of USD 3.5 million (approximately R54.6 million) for the Roger Federer Foundation. The PR resulted in a total AVE (ZAR) across all platforms (broadcast, print, online & social media) of over R921 million, which equates to a total AVE (USD) of $61.5 million.
The Rand Show 2019
The 2019 Rand Show required PR that would not only generate awareness for the existing offering but also to gain maximum exposure for the new on trend content being introduced in 2019. The challenge was successfully met – effectively communicating with traditional audiences and media while also attracting new media and audiences to the event. The result?
