This is the agency to watch in 2016, promise

Finalists are rising agencies that are seen as holding talent in management and creative that places them as strong contenders amongst their competitors.

Promise, an independent agency launched by Marc Watson and James Moffatt 10 years ago, has won the nomination of its peers for the Johannesburg region as well as first place for South Africa, in a tie with the Y&R Group.

Promise grew digital revenue by 80% during 2015, with digital now accounting for 40% of income. The agency retained all clients and won new business from Castle Lite (BTL), Virgin Mobile, Edcon (additional), Ellies Holdings, JTI, Forever New and Brutal Fruit (digital).

Promise CEO, James Moffatt, notes, “We’re super chuffed to be nominated by our peers in the MarkLives.com survey on the back of last year’s Annual AdFocus Awards nomination, in which we achieved finalist for Medium-sized Agency of the Year. Our culture and standard of excellence has played a crucial role in our ability to innovate and support our clients to thrive within their markets.”
