It\u2019s official: the city\u2019s most candid, curated, and champagne-fuelled strategy session is back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Big Things Brunch, hosted by international business and brand consultant Delon le Roux, EMBA, returns on Saturday, 19 July 2025 at 12:00 at The Lemon Tree Restaurant\u2014and if you\u2019re serious about scaling your personal brand, monetizing your expertise, and getting visible in the rooms that matter, you\u2019d better have a seat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is not a panel. Not a keynote. Not a glorified Zoom replay. This is a high-impact, high-tea experience for people with ideas\u2014and ambition,\u201d says le Roux.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI’ve always had a big mouth, and now I\u2019m finally putting it to good use.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kelston Motors OMODA Gqberha will allow four lucky ticket holders a free test drive on the morning of the Big Things Brunch. In order to qualify, you must have purchased a double ticket. The draw winners will be announced on Friday, 18th July at 5 pm.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strategy Served Sparkling<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Designed for entrepreneurs, creatives, consultants, and industry leaders, The Big Things Brunch isn\u2019t about perfection. It\u2019s about profit, positioning, and making your magic bankable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTake your magic and monetize it,\u201d says le Roux. \u201cWe now operate in an Attention Economy. The one who knows how to capitalize on their visibility wins.\u201d \u201cPeople cannot support you if they don\u2019t know what you do. If you\u2019re the best-kept secret in your niche\u2014fix it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attendees can expect:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 A luxe high tea spread by The Lemon Tree Restaurant<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 Sparkling sips from Chateau Del Rei, our official celebration partner<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 A paparazzi-style arrival experience + styled photo wall<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 A sit-down \u2018in conversation\u2019 session with Delon le Roux<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 Access to a high-value network of collaborators and decision-makers<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 A shared digital folder post-event with high-quality media assets<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the Ones Who Are Building It All<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re rebranding, relaunching, or rethinking your entire offering, this is for you. If you know you’re talented but struggle to price, pitch, or position that magic, this is for you. If you want to turn one good idea into income and impact, this is definitely for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Themes covered:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 Brand building & digital visibility<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 Packaging value: UVP, MVP, pricing<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 Network leverage and strategic collaboration<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 Understanding your ideal customer<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00b7 Mindset, monetization, and managing your growth<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not Your Average Motivational Moment<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I didn’t want the event to be about me; I wanted to create a space where we could come together and share our insights, network, and foster collaboration.” “Because of my background in PR & EVENTS, I wanted to create a fun, engaging environment\u2014not a typical keynote lecture. I believe it\u2019s possible to combine a space for learning with good food, sparkling sips, and a damn good selfie!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This event is less \u2018lean in\u2019 and more \u2018level up.\u2019 Bring your elevator pitch and your power outfit. This isn\u2019t just a brunch\u2014it\u2019s a business move.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
