"In light of the chaos our head office staff experienced in early March as a result of the Eikenhof Pumpstation power outages, I had no choice but to make a decision that will safeguard the business and our clients — some of the most innovative and unique entrepreneurs South Africa can offer — hence our planned move to Mars," says manager of new Dominions Samantha Perry.

Perry, who founded the company in 2019 and started running it full-time in 2021 due to the Covid pandemic, says the interplanetary move is very on-brand for the PR agency. 

"We have always done things a bit differently, so why not sign up for an office on Mars?" says Perry.

The move will see the company's new head office open on Mars by Monday, 1 April 2030 — also SJ Perry PR's birthday. According to the agency, water supply is not considered an issue on the planet, and energy generation is inherent in the substructure of the planet due to its iron, nickel and sulphur-rich core, and a crust consisting of:

  • iron
  • magnesium
  • aluminium
  • calcium, and
  • potassium.

Perry believes the planet's legal and regulatory requirements for running a small business will be more conducive to building and expanding the business, says the agency. 

"Mars's atmosphere hasn't been exposed to bureaucratic systems and the sulphur is believed to be a remnant of previous unsuccessful attempts by corporations and state agencies to settle the planet. I believe this bodes well for sustained growth," Perry says. 

According to the agency, SJ Perry PR has grown from a one-client business five years ago to servicing more than ten startups and established businesses today. It boasts a seven-figure turnover, underscoring its unprecedented growth rate, which Perry says is based on its staff and founder being space cadets who do work considered to be "out of this world".

"In the meantime, the company plans to assist its people and media partners by pointing out the lighter side of life on this foolish planet we call home," Perry concludes.
