On the 2nd of March 2013, King James Group Johannesburg opened its doors for business. It combined the reputation and track record of one of South Africa’s biggest independent agencies with the creative firepower of two of South Africa’s top creatives.
King James Group Johannesburg was born from the wish to start a creatively strong, autonomous Johannesburg-based advertising agency.
We believe that great ideas have the ability to make a real difference to the businesses of their clients and the perception of their consumers, and that the most successful business relationships and the best work is built on mutual trust.
