We do things differently, not for the sake of being different, but for the sake of finding a better way to do business.
We set the advertising world alight with our innovative business model where we turn communication between ourselves and our clients into conversation. Coupled with our entrepreneurial spirit, solid reputation and out of the box thinking, our brand centric team proves that dynamite really does come in small packages.

Team Shanghai out and about at the Forum this morning 💙.
Always so inspiring to see the ideas and innovation driving the future of tech, and even better to be able to be a part of the creative journey behind it. ✨

💛 A Different Kind of Celebration 💛
Every year we wrap up with our much-loved year-end function, a day to celebrate our incredible team and clients. But this year we decided to do things a little differently at The Old Shanghai 🧨.
Instead of throwing a party, we turned our gratitude into giving by donating R100 000 to the Hot Cares Teddython 2025, hosted by HOT1027FM.
If your business is finding new ways to give back, share your story with and help keep the spark of generosity burning bright. ✨

The season of giving is in the air, and we’re honored to once again participate in the Santa Shoebox initiative. 🎄🎅
Our Shanghains have wrapped up joy in personalised boxes to equip children across South Africa and Namibia for the year ahead. ❤️🎁
Thank you to our Shanghai family for continuing this 15-year tradition and spreading festive cheer. 🎊
