In a landscape rich with an entrepreneurial spirit, KVD Communications proudly partners with Blackstone Maverick, a flourishing small business entering South Africa’s perfume industry. Amidst the current small business landscape, where opportunities are bound for economic growth, this collaboration underscores our commitment to supporting and championing local SMEs, creating circular economies and empowering families to become self-sufficient by doing what they love.
Blackstone Maverick stands out not only for its fresh fragrances but also for the purpose behind its brand. They aim to tell people’s stories through their range and to create a fragrance for every person’s story. South Africa is seeing a growing trend among consumers who want to support locally crafted products. After meeting Micaela Butler, seeing her passion, and hearing her story, KVD Communications, as a proud supporter of SMEs, is thrilled to be a part of the Blackstone Maverick journey. Amid a growing market, where global fragrance revenue in 2023 is R1.121 million, with an expected annual growth of 2.50% (CAGR 2023-2028), Blackstone Maverick hopes to carve the way and show others the impact that small businesses can have on our dynamic economy.
Magdaleen Scott, MD, and Founder of KVD Communications, states, “Our commitment goes beyond business, it’s about community and collaboration. We understand the potential that small businesses hold in boosting our economy, and our approach reflects our dedication to their success.”

This venture is a celebration of the resilience and creativity inherent in South Africa’s small businesses. As we embark on this journey together, we invite everyone to support and champion the potential that our local SMEs bring to the forefront.
Blackstone Maverick is not just a fragrance; it’s a narrative, celebrating individuals whose stories inspire others. The brand uniquely merges exceptional French oils with South African craftsmanship, fostering a sense of cultural identity. In addressing the demands for high-end fragrances, Blackstone Maverick’s scents, curated and packaged locally, showcase a commitment to excellence.
Scott, continues, “Our data-driven approach ensures effective brand communication, aligning seamlessly with Blackstone Maverick’s innovative creations. As a small business, we recognise the importance of building a distinct brand presence in a competitive market.
This collaboration strategically leverages KVD Communication’s expertise in brand communications, media relations, and digital marketing, and Blackstone Maverick’s product range to explore new segments in the competitive perfume market. The digital and design aspect of our collaboration includes the creation of social media pages, digital assets, google advertising, and an ongoing influencer campaign, all tailored to amplify the unique identity of Blackstone Maverick.
