Twelve97 is an independent marketing communications agency that offers clients a dedicated yet affordable resource for all their marketing communication needs. The success of the agency and the rapport we have with our clients is a reflection of our fresh approach towards managing clients, customers and brands. 

Part of your team
At Twelve97, we believe our team is part of your team. Our dedicated, one on one approach to relationships means that the people you meet during the initial meetings and presentations will be the same people who will be taking care of your business on a day to day basis. We place a huge amount of emphasis on ensuring that we understand your business, your brand, your customers and of course you.

Small is beautiful: We do not aspire to be a multinational agency.
We are a communications boutique.

This understanding and the trust that comes with it allows our clients to view our resources as a natural extension of their marketing team – and we wouldn’t have it any other way.

Common Sense Marketing
In an industry that has become increasingly tongue tied with confusing and complicated jargon, Twelve97 offers a refreshing approach to marketing communications.

This approach has become our Mantra: common sense, creatively applied.

We focus on developing robust communications strategies that address the marketing challenges facing clients. By talking the same language as our clients, instead of complex industry terminology, doing business and building relationships becomes a lot more straightforward.

We believe that campaign strategy and medium selection should meet the needs and objectives of the client’s actual business and marketing objectives, rather than comply with the affiliations of the agency.

Advertising agencies will argue that above the line advertising is the solution to all sales and marketing problems. New media agencies will point to the Internet and e-marketing as the cure for all communications headaches. At Twelve97 we formulate and develop our strategies independent of such influence. We recommend, source and select communication channels based on the marketing needs of our clients. 

In house creativity
A sound understanding of your business and a robust strategic vision counts for little if there is no creativity. At Twelve97 we pride ourselves on the creative ideas that we develop for you. Our creative team have years of experience working on some of the leading regional and global brands, across numerous industries including:
  • Travel & tourism
  • FMCG
  • Real Estate
  • Professional services 
  • Leisure
  • Oil & Gas
