Fevertree Media created a directory and news site for the entire forestry sector in South Africa, on , 25 years ago.

There is no other website like it.

Content creation is important to build knowledge about and trust in your company. You don’t need to write long stories; you can start with a simple photo or image and a few paragraphs about your products and services, which Fevertree can then publicise across its many channels.
Content creation is left to the client. Bronwyn advises the many companies who struggle to write their own stories to start with photo of their product and a blurb, which Fevertree can then publicise on its many channels.
Some members of the forestry industry do not have a logo, corporate identity, or digital marketing strategy. “They say they have a fixed market, so there is no need for marketing to find new customers. It’s a dangerous approach, especially in these difficult times,” observed Bronwyn.
“The reality is that every company needs a digital footprint. A company may be recommended by word of mouth, but inevitably the potential client will search online to learn more about the company. If they can’t find someone who has been recommended online, they will lose faith in them.”
Ex-Marketing Manager of Safire Insurance, Jacqui Cochran, applauded Fevertree for its “professionalism and commitment to delivering interesting and relevant content.
“Over the many years we’ve been working with Fevertree Media, we have found that their digital media platforms serves as an ideal way for us to reach our target audience of timber growers and the forestry industry in general.”
