There is always good news to celebrate at Chas Everitt, and this month it's the fact that The Property Signpost, our regular real estate newsletter, has won the Best Online Newsletter award at the 2026 New Generation Awards.
The award was presented to our digital marketing agency Stratitude, which entered seven case studies into this year’s NewGen awards and was named a finalist in five categories - three of them for work created in partnership with Chas Everitt. These three categories were Best Online Newsletter, Blogging Excellence and Best Integrated Marketing Campaign for our new It Matters marketing campaign.
The New Generation Awards are regarded as South Africa’s premier independent digital media and marketing honours. Now in their 14th year, the awards span around 60 specialised categories, recognising everything from content marketing and integrated campaigns to influencer outreach, AI and digital innovation. They have become an important industry benchmark for work that combines effective digital execution with meaningful human connection.

For Chas Everitt, the Best Online Newsletter award is particularly significant. We created The Property Signpost to be much more than a promotional email packed with property listings, and we carefully craft the content each month to provide useful market insights, expert advice, practical guidance, industry information and lifestyle news that readers can turn to throughout their property journey.
And that approach has clearly struck a chord. The newsletter has rapidly grown from around 2500 readers a month to more than 153 000 opted-in subscribers*, while we continue to evolve its content to remain relevant and engaging.
We are extremely proud to have been recognised as having the best online newsletter and grateful to Stratitude for entering and championing our work in these prestigious awards, as well as their creativity, expertise and commitment to our brand.
