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.

Meet South Africa’s Cannes Lions Judges 2024
Being selected as a judge at Cannes is a massive achievement. It’s a testament to the respect the industry has for you on an international scale. We know that while a lot of us will be basking in the glitz and canapes Cannes has to offer, these judges will be toiling away in dark rooms, sifting through all the entries to identify the most outstanding work the world has to offer. Not to mention the Cannes Lions Shortlist judges who already had to work overtime and in between their own pitches back home! We see you, and we salute you.
