R&A Strategic Communications

R&A Strategic Communications R&A is a multi-faceted communications consultancy offering a full range of communications Community guidelines

We want to be share and learn and grow.

Over the past 21 years, R&A has grown into a leading southern African communications agency, with more than 50 clients – big and small, listed and unlisted. We assist clients in navigating complex media and investor relations issues, in building and preserving their corporate reputations, always guided by a strong ethical base. We offer an integrated communications approach, implemented strategica

lly. We work with our clients to establish their communication strategy and plans, and the messages, channels and skills that are required to thrive in a global marketplace, and a local environment. Centrally located in northern Johannesburg, South Africa, R&A has a network of contacts in New York, London, Sydney and Perth and is able to provide access to international expertise and a global audience. While R&A and its principals have experience of working all over the world, we are firmly rooted in South Africa. Following the conclusion of a black economic empowerment (BEE) transaction in 2017, R&A has a 26% black shareholding. We are proud of our South African heritage and determined to contribute to the transformation of the industry and country, including as a whole through the inclusion of historically disadvantaged people in the business. We believe we can make a difference – through our procurement practices, recruitment and development policies, and regular internships. We would love our friends to post interesting articles, photos, and questions or comments

But, please play nicely! Please don’t post anything that is abusive, defamatory or divisive. Please don’t post requests for jobs or internships, or offer services. That’s what the [email protected] email address is for. And, if you have a gripe, please feel free to contact Charmane, Kisten or Peter – all on [email protected].

Our R&A team had an amazing opportunity to explore the depths of Gold Fields South Deep Gold Mine, hosted by Precious Khabanyana from the communications team. Also on the tour were colleagues Netanja Turner and Gladys Tungu from Gold Fields.

The team thoroughly enjoyed their first-hand look at the core operations, and they were truly impressed by the innovative systems, processes, and remarkable expertise that ensures this truly modern mine runs safely and smoothly. A special thank you to the South Deep team and our fantastic guides, Ruan Briel and Nati Louw, for providing us with this unique experience.

This , we’re honouring the pride we take in our diverse heritages. Our colleagues at R&A are sharing their favourite aspects of their backgrounds and what they’re most proud of.

Junior Graphic Designer, Jeremy Dineen comments that “with so many different cultures, heritages and backgrounds, South Africans can truly say we are all equal in front of a braai, no matter the cut of meat, or spice thrown upon it. The braai brings us together, giving us a platform to create and share precious moments. These moments are then carried down in our memories, shared, and become a part of the traditions of Heritage Day. This is why Heritage Day is so special, because every time we celebrate, it grows, and gets better”.
