Our Story
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.
Client partners




Our Foundation
Every campaign starts with listening sessions that surface the emotions, pressures, and hopes of the communities we serve.
Our narratives are backed by verified data points and the voices of trusted partners who can vouch for our work.
Strategies are co-created with clients so the tone, language, and outcomes reflect the people leading the change.
We report transparently on wins, lessons, and what we will try next—because trust is built in the open.
When briefs shift, we reframe the story in real time, keeping teams motivated and communities connected.
From tactile event touchpoints to experimental digital drops, we craft experiences that linger long after launch.
"This first year has been about planting the seed — aligning people, stories, and purpose. The next chapter is about scale and sustainable impact."
— Kgotso Hope Lekau, Co-Founder
