Manley & Clacey

Specialising in luxury South African brands with a presence in the UK we offer our clients unrestricted access to media, research and market activations.

Manley & Clacey is a partnership between Manley Communications, one of South Africa’s leading perception management consultancies, and Laura Clacey, an individual who brings to years of experience in the media, government, sustainability and consumer goods industries.

Manley & Clacey was founded in need; to effectively representing premium and luxury South African brands in London.

There is an enormous need amongst South African luxury lifestyle brands for bespoke representation abroad. At the end of the day, the top-end destinations and consumer brands in South Africa are looking further afield for business, and for exposure.

Key to the expansion is to offer a more value-driven service for South African companies seeking exposure in the Britain and Europe. Leveraging our established back-office infrastructure in South Africa, and maintaining a lean client-focused office in London, enables Manley & Clacey to offer a more competitive pricing and dynamic cost structure. Many South African brands simply can’t afford the current inflated costs of PR representation in London, and we’d like to change that. We want to make it more accessible for SA businesses to have a voice in London.

We offer an ideal opportunity for South African brands to harness a cohesive communications service, both within South Africa and abroad. The new office will offer a range of services, from market research, public relations strategy and implementation, to event management, trade show representation and market activations.
