Clean Creatives
Inspired by and in cooperation with Clean Creatives in the US, Clean Creatives SA is hosted by FFSA. This campaign aims to bring together leading SA media agencies, their employees, and industry clients to address the SA ad and PR industry’s work with the fossil fuels that are the principal cause of climate breakdown.
