Our Story

We are entering a changing and digital world, and we at Cherry Berry Blue Publishing SA cc realise that it takes creative thinking, expertise in the field of design, innovation and dedication from specialists in their field; from production and layout to photography and copywriting; everything needs to be carefully thought out. We focus on the task at hand.

Cherry Berry Blue publishing SA cc incorporates In house Digital Magazines – Brides Essence – your perfect form of weddings, Brides Essence Travel – your perfect form of Honeymoons and Travel MagSA – a digital diversion for the travel industry bringing you a real time Travel Magazine.

All the websites have real time shopping pages and the emphasis is on offering alternative solutions to both the wedding and travel industries by incorporating the multi-media benefits that make digital publishing so exciting and by reaching a wider global market at a more affordable rate.

Our magazines are a green Initiative and we promote Fair trade and a responsible and sustainable approach to tourism, weddings and business in Southern Africa.

Our focus other than to bring you fun and interesting digital glossy magazines straight to your desk for free, is to assist you and your business in implementing digital mediums of your own.

Our copywriters will ensure your content is search engine optimised, interesting and to the point targeting the correct readership for your particular concern.

Assisting you in creating your Story.

There are great stories to be told about destinations and attractions. Do you know yours? Like all great stories they are filled with colourful characters, romance, adventure and strong mental imagery. They communicate the single-minded ideas that setvarious destinations apart from the competition, but at the same time the story illustrates all the little things that make the destination a one-of-a-kind experience.

If this story is not being told about your venue, destination or attraction, you’re not creating desire.

As an experienced e-marketing and publishing company, Cherry Berry Blue Publishing SA can help you figure out what your great story is – and help create and market your brand. By assessing your organisation and with informed market insights, we will begin to craft your story. Our writers will create vivid images and scenarios, using the skills of a storyteller – compelling words and ideas and captivating imagery – these crafted stories are used to help your target market visualise what it will be like to experience your venue, destination or attraction.
