Spring has officially sprung at the Jacaranda FM headquarters as the team welcomed the season with an up-beat silent disco. Everyone came in their bright and bold Spring gym attire to dance to winning night time show host (Radio Awards 2017), DJ Jazzy D’s tunes.
This internal activation was aimed to kick-start the countdown to the annual Discovery Jacaranda FM Spring Walk taking place on Saturday, 09 September 2017 at Pretoria Botanical Gardens.
“More music you love sounds even better in Spring. This is the season where all our listeners and staff are in higher spirits and more keen to up the notch in living a healthy lifestyle,” says Minisha Patel, Marketing Manager at Jacaranda FM.
