PR built for Johannesburg’s BOARDROOMS

The Basic retainer starts at R8,500/mo and suits a Randburg or Midrand SME wanting steady coverage: a managed media list, two press releases a month, and a monthly monitoring report. The Growth Programme at R18,000/mo adds proactive pitching, four releases, ghostwritten thought leadership and quarterly strategy, which is where most Rosebank and Sandton mid-market firms sit. The Full Programme from R35,000/mo carries crisis playbooks, spokesperson training and investor or stakeholder communications for corporate head offices and JSE-listed brands. Every retainer is month-to-month with 30-day notice. See our pricing page or request a custom quote.

We pitch by beat, not by blast. For finance and JSE news that means Business Day, Fin24, Moneyweb, the Financial Mail and the Business Times. For mining and resources we work Mining Weekly and the resources desks. Broadcast and general business runs through EWN, 702, SABC News, Newzroom Afrika and Daily Maverick, with Bizcommunity and sector trade titles for retail, logistics, property and technology. Your story goes to the specific Johannesburg journalist most likely to run it.

Yes, and it matters more in Johannesburg because the national business press sits here and a story moves within hours. Crisis preparedness, including playbooks, holding statements, spokesperson training and scenario planning, is built into the Full Programme. During a live incident we run 24/7 monitoring, coordinated media response, social listening and stakeholder updates. Reactive crisis support outside a retainer is available on a day-rate.

Yes. Many Johannesburg corporates and listed companies need structured communication well beyond the media: results announcements and investor updates, employee and internal communications, government and regulator relations, and B2B messaging. We build a stakeholder plan that keeps one clear message across every audience, from JSE analysts to frontline staff. Stakeholder communications management is part of the Full PR Programme.

Johannesburg is a results-driven, high-budget market and boards expect numbers. Each month you get every placement logged by outlet, date and journalist, estimated audience reach, media value equivalent, sentiment split, key-message landing rate, and share of voice against named competitors. We monitor JHB and national media with Meltwater and turn the data into the next month’s pitching plan.

A timely news hook tied to interest rates, a results release or a sector development can land within 24 to 72 hours. Ghostwritten thought leadership placements take two to six weeks, and feature articles four to eight weeks from pitch acceptance. Consistent, relationship-driven coverage compounds over three to six months, which is why we recommend a minimum six-month retainer for a real media footprint.

Our head office is in Pretoria, so we are in your home region of Gauteng rather than a distant agency. That means free local delivery and on-site meetings in Sandton, Rosebank, Midrand or the wider Johannesburg area by arrangement, plus everyday work handled over email, video and WhatsApp. We service Johannesburg brands directly alongside the rest of South Africa.

Yes. We build the media list, write and pitch the stories, and manage journalist responses so Johannesburg B2B and corporate businesses earn credible editorial coverage in the finance, mining, corporate-services and trade titles their buyers and stakeholders read.
