Why Red & Yellow gives you the edge from day one
Our unbeatable
partnership network
Since our earliest days, Red & Yellow has worked hard at establishing relationships with strategic industry stakeholders as a key part of our mission to build brilliant careers and organisations.
We are proud to have been able to establish and maintain long-standing partnerships with industry titans such as M&C Saatchi Abel, Loeries Creative Week, Meta, IMC Conference, FAME Week and Unstereotype Alliance.
Our successful partnerships have led to the creation of initiatives which benefit our students, including Brand Challenge which happens twice a year and our Workplace Learning initiative which happens in October.
Through the Workplace Learning Initiative, students in the Bachelor of Arts in Visual Communication degree programme were placed at partner-organisations such as Woolworths, Ogilvy, Publicis, DUKE Advertising, OneDayOnly, OFyt and King James in 2022. Students doing the Advanced Diploma in Copywriting were placed at partner-organisations such as Butler’s Pizza, Mullen Lowe, King James, HelloFCB+ and Grid Worldwide.
We also host exciting guest lectures from industry leaders on a regular basis.

How to fund your studies
“My ultimate goal has always been to successfully run my own business. I want the opportunity to run my own organisation with modern finesse, innovative methods and a socially responsible culture.”
Anganathi Beyile,
3rd year BCom Marketing bursary student
At Red & Yellow, we strive to ensure that our students are sufficiently sensitive to our dynamic African context. In living out this philosophy, we at Red & Yellow are also sensitive to the realities facing many potential and current students.
Challenges around student funding is one such reality, and we’ve identified the Capitec Education Finance instrument as a powerful tool which could assist would-be and current students alike in unlocking their full potential.
