About us

Wunderman Thompson is part creative agency, part consultancy, and part technology firm – all in one. We’re a level 1 BBBEE contributor, born out of a series of mergers and acquisitions over the past 5 or so years – a specialist tech company, a social media agency, a traditional advertising agency, and our country’s first specialist and largest digital marketing agency.

We’re part of the world’s largest marketing services firm, WPP. Sister agencies in South Africa include Mindshare, Mediacom, Wavemaker, Grey Advertising, VMLY&R, Ogilvy, BCW, H+K, and Smollen.

As Wunderman Thompson, we offer integrated full-service capabilities to our clients. This positions us well as a growth partner, perfectly suited to helping our clients navigate the convergence between marketing & communications, technology, martech, data, commerce and CRM.

Our South Africa footprint includes on-the-ground teams in Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town and Durban, with reach across Africa through sister agencies that are also part of the WPP network. Wunderman Thompson (WT) itself is present in 90 global markets.

We collaborate where scope requires with specialised Centres of Excellence from across our global network – these team members can be embedded as part of the SA team to service client requirements as needed and operating models are flexible. Examples include a dedicated WPP specialist Sports Practice, WT Consulting, WT Data, WT Health, an Intelligence Unit, and Commerce/Marketplace and more recently AI expert teams. In South Africa we’re operationally structured around local Centres of Excellence that offer through-the-line integrated capabilities and services. At a high-level these are:

I. Integrated marketing and advertising services

II. Advertising Paid Media services

III. Consulting

IV. Technology and eCommerce, and

V. Sponsorships

The services and capabilities housed across our Centres of Excellence are all underpinned by strong data analytics and insights inputs and outputs, as well as account and project management teams that co-ordinate team deliverables through one central point of contact for our clients.
