Inspiring connection through brand engagement

Welcome to

where we’re not just in the brand engagement business of events management, brand activation, and exhibition booth design and build, but we’re in the business of inspiring chatter!

Why, you ask? Because in our world, chatter isn’t just idle gossip; it’s the core of connections, engagement, and all things innovative. The best-kept secret that fuels new business, sparks partnerships, and ignites creativity.

We craft award-winning brand engagements that’ll have your customers connecting, chatting, and sharing like there’s no tomorrow. To emphasise, we’re all about making waves and turning heads.

About us

So, how did this whole Chat’r thing come to be? It all started back in 2013 when the Chat’r (pronounced ‘chatter,’ in case you missed it) idea was born. And right from the get-go, we set our sights on becoming a 100% independent, proudly South African integrated communication studio.

Our reach? To begin with, we’ve got Jozi (that’s slang for Johannesburg) and the rest of South Africa covered, and we’re extending our awesomeness across the entire African continent. Ultimately, we’ll be captivating clients worldwide, one epic Xperience (that’s a Chat’r Xperience) at a time.

Our crew is small but boasts over 60 years of combined experience. With this in mind, we’re swift, efficient, and always ready to rock your world. So in a nutshell – we’ve got the agility of a ninja, combined with the impact of a meteor strike. But don’t let our funky approach fool you – we get stuff done, like you want it, when you want it.

So, let’s get chatty, coz (text abbreviation for ‘because’) at Chat’r, we’re all about turning events into legen–wait for it–dary stories and brands into unforgettable experiences.

It's what we do best
