About 21 ICONS[edit]
21 ICONS is an editorial content format that uses photographic portraits, short films, and behind-the-scenes photography to shine a light on exceptional people who have attained success at the highest level, and made a meaningful contribution to their community.
21 ICONS was conceived by Adrian Steirn, the principal photographer for the format. To date three seasons of the project have run in South Africa. Discussions are currently in place for the format’s expansion into other territories including the USA and UK.
Distribution[edit]
21 ICONS is a multimedia, multi-platform format that was distributed across a variety of channels. In South Africa it was distributed through national media on TV, radio, print, online, and out of home.
