Menlyn Park Shopping Centre has taken home 14 awards – including one Gold, nine Silver and four Bronze awards at the 2026 South African Council of Shopping Centres (SACSC) Footprint Marketing Awards, held on Wednesday, 9 September at The Polo Room, Inanda Polo Club.
Managed by Mowana Properties and co-owned by Pareto Limited, Menlyn Park was recognised across a broad range of marketing disciplines, reflecting the centre’s continued focus on creating campaigns that connect brands, tenants and consumers through meaningful experiences.
The centre’s Gold Award was awarded in the Strategic Marketing category for the I DO Bridal Fair. The campaign also received Silver recognition for tactical activation and social media.
Other Silver-winning campaigns included Destination Winter, which was recognised for Brand & Tenant Partnerships and Public Relations; Matric Expo, which received recognition for Brand & Tenant Partnerships and Strategic Marketing; Menlyn Som van Twee Premiere and Moms of Menlyn, which both received recognition for Tactical Activation, with Moms of Menlyn also earning a Silver for Strategic Marketing.
Menlyn’s Bronze awards included Tactical Activation for Destination Winter and Menlyn Easter Hunt, as well as Strategic Marketing for Menlyn Easter Hunt.
For General Manager of Menlyn Park Shopping Centre, Nisha Kemraj, the recognition reflects the collaborative effort behind creating relevant experiences for consumers and tenants.
“These awards are a reflection of what is possible when our teams, tenants and agency partners come together around a clear purpose. At Menlyn, we are constantly looking at how we can create experiences that are relevant to our consumers while delivering meaningful value for our tenants and partners. We are incredibly proud of the work behind these campaigns and, most importantly, of the people who brought them to life. The recognition is encouraging, but our focus remains on continuing to innovate, connect with our communities and create experiences that give people a reason to choose Menlyn.”
The latest recognition adds to Menlyn Park’s strong history at the SACSC Footprint Marketing Awards. At the previous edition, the centre received a record eight Gold Awards, including recognition for campaigns such as Gift of Time, LEGO Brickfair and Rooms on View.
The 2026 awards continue to highlight the breadth of marketing activity taking place across Menlyn Park, from strategic campaigns and tenant partnerships to public relations, social media and consumer activations.
For Menlyn Park, the focus remains on creating a destination that extends beyond retail – bringing together brands, experiences and communities in ways that remain relevant to today's consumers.
