The Media Krate: Purposeful Disruptors of the Township Economy

The Media Krate is a specialist Township Out-of-Home (OOH) media agency and owner, dedicated to the township economy. Our name is inspired by the Crate (herein spelled with the letter “K” to make “Krate”) — a ubiquitous township staple. While the world sees a simple container, the township sees a multifunctional tool: a chair, a ladder, a stage for amaPantsula dancers, or a storefront.

Like its namesake, The Media Krate is built on versatility and resilience. We represent disruptive, radical, and sustainable innovation, transforming everyday township challenges into high-impact media solutions.

Our Circular Philosophy

Rooted in the communal spirit of the township, we operate within the township circular economy. We don’t just advertise; we integrate. By identifying township community pain points and converting them into OOH opportunities, we create a value chain that benefits both the community and brands looking to engage with the continent’s most vibrant consumer base.
