Fast Company South Africa

Fast Company inspires a new breed of innovative and creative thought leaders who are actively inventing the future of business. With engaging narratives as informative as they are entertaining, Fast Company motivates fans to think beyond traditional boundaries, lead proactively, and most importantly, embrace change. The South African edition will be along the same themes as the USA; initially 40% of the content will be South African and 60% will be from the USA. For the first time, the South African market will have the opportunity to read exclusive interviews with the CEOs of Facebook, Amazon, NIKE, Google and the top international and local trend-setters across a broad spectrum of industries. South Africans are crying out for a younger, hipper business title – and now they will have one!

most creative people • Creativity can draw inspiration from many places. To paraphrase Einstein, creativity generally involves seeing what others see yet thinking or doing what no-one else has ever thought of or done. Creative people can be found in the worlds of music, art and food preparation, among others. Fast Company decided to take a closer look at what some local creatives do that puts them among the Most Creative People.
