One of South Africa’s most established communications consultancies, Corporate Image, has been awarded as Best Public Affairs & Reputation Management Company in South Africa at the MEA Business Awards 2020.

Hosted by MEA Markets, the agency was subject to a rigorous internal vetting procedure. The extensive research and judging process is driven by merit and centred around an in-depth evaluation of skills and services on offer.

Awardees must demonstrate expertise within their field, dedication to customer service and a commitment to promoting excellence. Award winners are not determined by popularity of votes, but by their contributions to their industry.

“This award is evidence of our commitment to excellence in reputation building and management as well as crisis communications, which we put to work daily among our pool of clients – including some of the country’s largest corporates, most of which are JSE-listed,” said CEO and founder Tamra Capstick-Dale.

Founded in 1987, Corporate Image still operates independently and works across industries including financial services, food and beverage, agriculture, retail, telecommunications and ICT as well as hospitality and entertainment, among others.

A Level 1 broad-based black economic empowerment contributor, Corporate Image is renowned for its trusted C-suite relationships and the provision of strategic counsel to Chief Executives, Boards, and Excos. The company has its administrative headquarters in Cape Town with the bulk of its senior Account Director team based in Johannesburg.

“It has been challenging year for many of our clients who work in sectors which have been hard hit by the global health pandemic. Our team has put in enormous effort and long hours assisting them with consistent, clear and effective stakeholder, media and customer communications. The MEA Business Award thus comes at a great time to close the year off on a high note,” Capstick-Dale said.
