South African DMC Creative Studios Events has rebranded as DUE SOUTH Destination Management and appointed MM and Company as its exclusive UK representation partner.

The move represents a new phase of growth for the business as it sharpens its focus on destination management, incentive travel and corporate events across Southern Africa.

Founded in 2014 and based in Cape Town, the company said the rebrand reflects both its evolution over the past decade and a clearer positioning around bespoke destination experiences, corporate events, incentives and group travel logistics across the region.

DUE SOUTH’s ownership, management team and service offering will remain unchanged throughout the transition, with the rebrand designed to better reflect the company’s expertise and long-term direction.

Nelson Albarran, owner and managing director of DUE SOUTH Destination Management, said: “After 12 years operating as Creative Studios Events, we felt it was the right time for our brand identity to better reflect who we are today and where we are headed. DUE SOUTH Destination Management speaks directly to our expertise, our geography, and our passion for curating unforgettable experiences in Southern Africa.”

As part of its next phase of growth, the company has also strengthened its international presence through a new partnership with MM and Company, which will represent the DMC in the UK market.

David Marks, founder of MM and Company, said: “As we enter our 30th year of representing world-class DMCs, welcoming DUE SOUTH into our portfolio strengthens our offering to our conference and incentive client base.

“MM and Company has more than 20 years’ experience representing DMCs in Southern Africa and extensive knowledge of the destination.”

The rebrand will be rolled out across the company’s website, social channels and marketing materials over the coming weeks.
