When delegates convene at The Nedbank IMC Conference 2023, on 15 September, they’ll discover that the beautifully branded Avatar coffee stands are more than just coffee dispensers – they are the embodiment of growth in a cup.

Avatar Creative Foundry partnered with the esteemed Red & Yellow Creative School of Business; we entrusted their students with a unique challenge: to design coffee cup sleeves that encapsulated the essence of Liberating African Creativity for The World.

After meticulous selection, six designs emerged victorious, gracing the IMC delegates’ coffee cups.
