More than a decade down and Vega’s vision of what business was to be has come to pass. In the process we have helped shape that environment and continue to help shape the future.
Vega constantly strives to embody wisdomwithmagic, to find ways for brands to not only exist as “Enlightened companies and CEOs… the purpose of business being the creation of value as uniquely defined to meet the needs and wants of key-value shareholders such as staff, customers and the broader community. A brand is the ultimate vessel to deliver this value.” Gordon Cook, National Brand Navigator.
The Durban campus consists of a tight group of students, lecturers and support staff who all add their own unique flavour to the world of branding. Lots of hard work and some fun have again seen fantastic results this year with a D&AD finalist going to London, flying with two Loerie awards and snapping the top NPC photographic award. Our students featured in and wrote newspaper articles, our graduate students held six exhibitions in galleries such as Gallery 415 and The Collective. Our talent is on display so join us for some inspiration and a few drinks.
