MediaHeads 360 marks 7 years of changing lives with the 2025 Women’s Month Bursary Competition

This year, three dynamic women working in South Africa’s advertising and media agencies will receive bursaries to study Digital Marketing at Red & Yellow Creative School of Business, a leading institution in creative and marketing education.

“This competition is a cornerstone of our commitment to growing the industry by supporting the women who help shape it,” says Candy Dempers, managing director at MediaHeads 360. “We’re not just celebrating women this August – we’re investing in their future.”
