About Courtesy Group

Founded in 1999, Courtesy Group is a black owned communications company built in KwaZulu-Natal and trusted across South Africa. The group is 100% black owned and 95% woman owned, combining transformative ownership with active, experienced leadership. Courtesy Group unites seven specialist businesses under one accountable relationship, giving clients personalised account management and integrated delivery across strategy, creative, media, digital, broadcasting, events, experiential marketing and stakeholder communication. Rather than coordinating multiple suppliers, clients work with a single point of contact who marshals the right specialist skill for every stage of a campaign or project. Four principles guide how the group works. Client focused delivery keeps agreed outcomes and deadlines central to every assignment. Sustainable growth means work is benchmarked against quality, commercial and lasting standards rather than short term wins. Trusted partnerships are built by honouring agreements and pursuing mutually beneficial working relationships with clients and suppliers alike. Social impact reflects the group’s commitment to supporting economic participation in the communities and sectors it serves. As a black owned communications company, Courtesy Group is also active across the wider communications and events ecosystem, with memberships and working relationships that strengthen delivery, standards and production reach. The group is connected to the Southern African Association for the Conference Industry (SAACI), the Marketing Association of South Africa (MASA), the Exhibition and Event Association of Southern Africa (EXSA) and the Durban Chamber of Commerce and Industry. From government and parastatal engagements to private enterprise campaigns, Courtesy Group brings 27 years of combined experience to complex public environments, helping clients turn ambitious briefs into accountable, well executed results.
