Eclipse Communications opened its doors in 1998 by Founding Partner, Jacki McEwen with just two clients based in Cape Town. Within a decade, she grew the client base to include the likes of Master Builders Association of Western Cape (MBA), Protea Hospitality Corporation, Cape Union Mart, Procter & Gamble and others across various industries. The focus of the agency was largely on traditional corporate and consumer public relations.

Today, we are one of South Africa’s fastest growing, independent communications agencies, acknowledged as the Best Large PR Consultancy at the 2020 PRISM Awards and Public Relations Agency of the Year at the fm AdFocus Awards 2020.

Our footprint extends beyond the three major city centres in South Africa, to Mauritius, our first African-owned office outside of South Africa. Additionally, we have four in-country communications partners in Kenya, Nigeria, Namibia and Israel.

Our success story is rooted in our uncompromising and bold commitment to a diversity of people, skill sets, cross-functional teams and ‘can-do’ entrepreneurial spirits – responding to clients with insights and agility. We are a team of diverse, channel-agnostic out of the box thinkers who continuously strive to produce the next award-winning campaign and are quick to adapt to the ever-changing landscape. We offer personalised full-service communications solutions that guide our clients’ growth.

Our diversity of people has resulted in us achieving a Level 2 BBBEE status, a shareholder structure benefiting employees with 51% of our agency being black-employee-owned, with 35% in the hands of black women.
