INTRODUCTION

Founded in 1993 as a design company, the passion of the founding members led Inspiration down a road of success driven by a love for building brands and the art of persuasion. Now a fully-fledged advertising agency, Inspiration is both proudly South African and BEE compliant.

Putting your brand out there, establishing an identity and putting a face to the name are what we do. Advertising is not a luxury afforded to big brands, it is a necessity for any brand. It’s about establishing relationships with customers and clients, creating perceptions that ultimately produce brand loyalty.

Inspiration creatively strives to market our client’s brands in the best way possible, while paying strict attention to strategy and client requirements.

We centre ourselves around our partnerships and a close interaction with our clients to create more than just advertising. We produce advertising solutions that uphold the integrity of your brand without compromising on strategy or corporate values.

At Inspiration, our motivation is service and our service comprehensive.

We offer the same as any big agency does and specialise in savvy, results-driven work at real good value.

We believe every business deserves great work, no matter the size of your company or marketing budget. What we do doesn’t have to be expensive - it just has to work.

ALLIANCES

SOCIAL MEDIA

Social media has changed the way people communicate to such an extent that it has become a discipline in its own right. Blogs, Twitter, Facebook, youtube, social media is a powerful business tool that can transform your business; and we know how to use it. The key to being an online market leader is to have a web presence across the various social media genres, where you constantly communicate with your current clients, potential clients and other businesses. It’s time to think beyond static marketing messages and campaigns and start thinking conversations and interaction. Our social networking specialists establish and maintain your business’ online presence in all these forms of social networking through customised social media packages. Don’t get left behind; set the trend.

Public RelationsOur highly-skilled public relations partners will manage the reputation of your brand while providing customised communication solutions that promise to enhance your image.

DigitalOur talented digital partners will give you a web presence with a state-of-the-art website. Digital services extend to html mailers, bulk mailing and SMS, and interactive communication.

WHY CHOOSE US?

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT, AND YOUR PERFECT MARKETING/ADVERTISING PARTNER?

Our business owner/directors are part of this team of specialists and operationally involved in the day-to-day operation of the business and client delivery. So unlike some of the bigger corporate agencies, our clients are not passed onto a team of juniors once the heavyweights have secured the contract. Senior people and specialists in their fields are involved with clients on a regular, long-term basis.

Our experience and expertise is extensive and diverse. We have specialists in marketing strategy, brand strategy, research and investigation as well as the creative and production arenas.

We offer both strategy and creative, always vigilant in ensuring creative is on strategy, and therefore relevant and effective in supporting our clients’ business strategies and plans.

We are small enough to be nimble, cost effective and entrepreneurial but also big enough to offer the full range of marketing and advertising services.
