Artists & Legends Creative Management and Production House

Artists & Legends is the hot, new agency in Cape Town. Already turning heads both locally and internationally, its the agency to contact for top creatives both in Cape Town and Europe and any size production budget. The way advertising and marketing is engaging with potential consumers has changed, thanks to the internet. So has the production industry, revolutionalized by the digital world. Artists & Legends embrace these changes, by inviting to brands to connect with them for a creative brief, which will be coupled with the right creative for the project, and executed professionally according to budget. The in-house producer has many years of international experience, working with ad agencies and brands from Europe and the US, looking to escape the winter. Cape Town and the African continent is the place to be. With its diverse locations, professional crews, and incredibly favourable exchange rate.

The producer at Artists & Legends has been a producer for almost 2 decades. Her experience encompasses print & commercial production, music videos and large fashion events. After receiving a Bachelor of Science in Advertising and marketing from The Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City, she returned to her home town to work in advertising. Little did she know that she would end up working for Tanya Townsend, one of South Africa's most revered print producers. Debbie's career has grown steadily over the years, producing massive print campaigns and TV commercials in Cape Town for the international market. Debbie did not stop there. With her global contacts, she has worked backstage at the Mercedes Benz Fashion Week in New York City and Australia, produced campaigns in New York, Los Angeles, Lisbon, Seychelles, Mauritius and Bombay, to name a few. Her love of travel and working with different cultures kept her on the move. She's worked alongside Sally Field, Rachel Griffith, Natalie Imbruglia, Ryan Reynolds and Owen Wilson. Her most recent contract was as the national Producer for Kevin Murphy in the USA. She produced 3 day fashion events across the US, culminating in hair and fashion shows for almost 1000 people. At the beginning of 2015 Debbie returned to Cape Town to launch Artists & Legends. Her vision: to harness her diverse, global experience and the creativity she has experienced on 3 continents, and to offer it to the creative industry in South Africa. The result: A progressive, forward thinking agency comprising of artists with their own unique voices looking to offer their vision to advertising agencies, brands and production houses both in South Africa, and the rest of the world. 

Her clients include: Hummer, Reebok, Speedo, Intercontinental Hotel Group, Bacardi, Philips, Shiseido, Azzaro, Fanta, Synsam, Dove, Voltaren, TomTom, Grey Goose Vodka, Elle, GQ, Sony, BMG, Vanity Fair, Burger King, Kevin Murphy, Millers Beer, NBC, Siemens, Skype, Superbalist.

On Location in Cape Town - Behind the Scenes in Langa

Cape Town has such a diverse array of locations. One day we are producing a high end fashion story in the lap of luxury at a villa in Camps Bay, the next, a music video on a dusty street in a township. Here are some behind the scenes images of one of the many music videos produced by Debbie Bacher.

Dreams do come true & its the stuff rainbows are made of... TomTom World Wide - Lukkien Holland

I was an Adrenal Fiend. I loved Production, it was my playing field. I loved working a job / being on set / saving major crises at warp speed / and all the other sublime stuff I would encounter on a minute to minute basis. I was hooked... I was not convinced I  wanted my own company in this crazy production world, despite my clients asking me to step up .... and then I went on my own.. the reason?

This is for another story, which involves fate, wolves & that indescribable magic....  But once I had decided to root myself in Africa, a fellow producer solidified my desires into reality, with the TomTom worldwide campaign... and what ensued can only be relayed with true conviction, through visual aid. . . (Warning, we have fun as fun is part of the creative process. We love what we do and we produce more than just good work.) Team TomTom....Nov 2014

WHO WE ARE

Artists & Legends is the brain child of Debbie Bacher.

Living and producing around the world exposed her to a plethora of creative innovation.

After almost 2 decades in global, full service production, Debbie is taking all the good things she's experienced in cities like New York, Los Angeles & London and is unwrapping her knowledge of all things cool and forward thinking, and offering it to brands both locally, and internationally.

Artists & Legends is part brand strategy, part creative management and part production company. You can utilise one of our services, or all of them. We tailor make media packages which include print campaigns, TV commercials, viral videos, music videos and short films. We'll follow that through with managing your activation or launch.

"I am doing things differently. I am breaking away from the traditional agency formula - one that just sends out a photographer to shoot a model. I want more engagement between creative and client. I want the young brands with the fresh, crazy ideas to know we are the house to come to. Knock on our door, let's build something together! Its a time where everyone wants content, but no one has the budget. Let's get together to problem solve how to make edgy, thought provoking content that looks awesome. Collectively, we have the power to deliver".

Our gang has shot front covers for Vogue; consulted for international fashion houses; and worked on some of the top international brands around. And within our team, we have the full complement for pretty much any shoot or event.

Let us create a unique concept for your brand...

Their work can be seen here and on our behance site.

Please get in touch, we’d love to hear from you!
