Who We Are
Founded in 1999, Direct Marketing SA is a boutique communications agency specializing in creative, relevant and targeted marketing and advertising solutions that make brands actionable.

Our mission is to help our clients communicate more effectively with their audience. We work with mid-size and large commercial clients who turn to us to manage their budgets and create dynamic campaigns that give them great value for their money down to the last cent.

Whether it’s launching a product or service, sampling, packaging, branding or developing memorable events and activities, we not only put your message in front of people, but also get them to interact with it to drive your sales and increase your customer engagement and loyalty. Every campaign we do reflects the personality of the client and the brand, not the agency. In other words, we are passionate about making things happen for you. Specifically, the smart things that can turn concepts and ideas into success stories.
