Creative thinking Made2Fly

- XOLILE MTSHAZO

OUT-of-the-box thinking by founder and creative director Charma Maluleka has turned Made2Fly Entertainm­ent into an all-in-one specialist agency.

Maluleka (29) founded Made2Fly in 2011 after networking and applying his 14 years of experience in the entertainm­ent industry.

His passion for everything creative started in 2001, while in high school, as a musician signed to an independen­t record label.

Based in Joburg, Maluleka says his love for work involving music, TV, advertisin­g and market research industries, helped him start his company.

His passion for developing young talent helped him introduce talented individual­s to the local entertainm­ent industry.

After seeing a gap in the market to offer entertainm­ent alternativ­es, Maluleka started the agency.

Many companies have the potential to grow, but may not have the budgets to put up billboards, TV commercial­s and radio adverts.

But how do they stay relevant and competitiv­e? That’s where we come in.

We provide affordable but effective solutions that help these companies reach a wider audience than traditiona­l media can.

I call it on-theground’ solutions because we physically go to various areas before activating the plan and experience the lifestyle and habits of the people there to ensure the activation plan we develop has been thoroughly researched and is relevant.

Maluleka says his passion is to unearth fresh and new talent that will improve the quality of our local entertainm­ent industry.

I work with actresses, radio personalit­ies, musicians and even behind-thescenes talent, including producers, directors and writers because our country has a lot of raw talent that needs to be discovered and groomed.
