Gate 7 appointed ANZ PR rep for South African Tourism

 South African Tourism has appointed tourism marketing agency Gate 7 as its in-market public relations and communications representative for Australia and New Zealand.

Gate 7 will deliver an integrated program across earned and owned channels, bringing PR, social media and broader communications together.

The appointment will see the agency work alongside the local South African Tourism team to drive awareness, consideration and visitation to South Africa from the Australian and New Zealand markets. A key focus will be highlighting ease of access, with convenient direct flights from Sydney and Perth, as well as one-stop connections from across Australia and New Zealand.

Jo Palmer, Founder & Managing Director of Gate 7, said: "South Africa is on the bucket list for so many across Australia and New Zealand, and we are proud to be working with the team at South African Tourism to represent such a dynamic and rewarding destination.

"Whether it’s spotting wildlife on safari, exploring neighbourhoods in Cape Town or connecting with local culture, South Africa offers depth, diversity, and exceptional value. We look forward to bringing these stories to life in a way that feels inspiring, relevant and within reach for travellers across the region."

Industry update

3CPR launches AI-powered reporting dashboard

Specialist corporate and financial communications consultancy, 3CPR, has launched CLARIO, an AI-powered reporting dashboard.

CLARIO - standing for Clarity and Innovation - was developed in-house by 3CPR’s data scientist. It tracks media coverage outcomes and key programme metrics, allowing clients to access live reporting and download charts, graphs, and data for internal use.

According to the consultancy, unlike broader media monitoring platforms, CLARIO focuses on the work undertaken by 3CPR and the resulting outcomes. It has also enabled the agency to move from half-yearly or annual reporting to an always-on model, reducing the time required to compile reports manually.

3CPR Founding Partner, Paul Cheal, said: “Media outcomes remain a key metric for PR performance, but for too long we have been stuck using tedious, time-consuming spreadsheets and relying on reporting that focuses on hindsight. AI provides a generational opportunity to change our approach - linking our activity to tangible business outcomes and providing real time visibility of strategic opportunities.

“The CLARIO platform offers a near real time view of media outcomes, tailored to each organisation’s goals and KPIs. It provides significant time saving for PR teams and delivers greater transparency to clients.

“We have already received overwhelmingly positive feedback from our clients. In the spirit of lifting our profession as a whole, we are offering a white label version for corporates or agencies who want to revamp how they report on their proactive activities and media campaign outcomes.”
