When coming to Cassper Nyovest's defence for the backlash he received after releasing his sneaker with Drip Footwear, DJ Zinhle revealed that implementing a publicity strategy has been one of the secrets to her success.
"Gifting is a time-honoured method of getting exposure for your brand or product. Also known as seeding, gifting is the practice of sending product to a celebrity, publication or influencer," she wrote.
