Celebrating 1 Year of Impact · Oct 2024 – Oct 2025

AlignSA

Purpose-driven PR and marketing consultancy bridging the gap between visibility and authenticity. Brands that don't just trend, but transform culture.

Strategic Storytelling

We architect story systems that keep founders, spokespeople, and campaigns on-message across every channel. From audience insight sprints to narrative guardrails and press-ready copy, we design communication that earns attention and protects credibility at scale.

Campaign Excellence

We move seamlessly from concept to execution, orchestrating media, creators, and production partners to deliver measurable reach. Every launch comes with clear KPIs, disciplined QA, and reporting loops so momentum stays high and results stay transparent.

Our Story

Creative Movement

One year of aligning people, stories, and purpose

Founded in October 2024 by Kgotso Hope Lekau and Jabulani Macdonald, AlignSA began as a friendship united by a bold vision: to build an agency rooted in purpose, culture, and creative alignment.

In just one year, we've grown from an idea to a creative collective connecting 50+ freelancers and 300+ creators across all nine provinces of South Africa.
