PR Powerhouse

The PR Powerhouse is boutique PR agency with the skill set and client base of a global agency. We would rather sell you results than size.

We understand that all our clients are in business, and we aim for nothing more but to help them achieve their business objectives. We pride ourselves on offering a personal alternative to larger public relations agencies. With our know-how and track record, we help our clients find their way through the vast and ever-evolving media landscape. Working in partnership with clients, we develop, strat

egise, craft and communicate the messages that drive their stories. From grassroots to international campaigns, PR Powerhouse closes the proverbial loop and delivers maximum and positive exposure within the media and respective industry. We know that the nature of media and PR has changed, that the new age influencers are only armed with a smart phone or computer, which is why we make it out business to know them and to form relationships with as many of them as possible. Our comprehensive public relations approach puts you in the spotlight by leveraging media relations, brand pr, reputation management, event marketing, community outreach, government relations, social media, business and financial communications and internal communications. We are rooted in South Africa, with a web of agency and media contacts on the rest of the African continent.

Global campaigns do not land everywhere in the same way.

A message that creates awareness in one market may need more context, education and local relevance in another.

For AbbVie’s World Parkinson’s Day campaign, the global moment was clear. On 11 April, landmarks around the world turn blue as part of Spark the Night, a movement to raise awareness of Parkinson’s disease.

In South Africa, working in collaboration with advocacy group Parkinsons ZA, we helped bring that moment to life by illuminating Constitution Hill.

The visual was powerful, but the strategy was bigger than the building.

The work was about making a global campaign meaningful in a local context. That meant understanding the awareness gap, choosing a site with national significance, foregrounding patient advocacy, involving credible partners, and building a story around lived experience, misdiagnosis and recognition.

That is what strong localisation does.

It turns a global moment into something people can understand, care about and act on.

From launching in 2020 to being recognised in Davos 🎉.

PR Powerhouse is honoured to have been recognised at the 2026 Davos Communications Awards, hosted by the World Communications Forum Association, with wins across corporate affairs, in-house communications and individual voice:

🥇 Gold - Powerful Voice in Communications, awarded to Lebo Madiba, Founder and Managing Director of PR Powerhouse
🥈 Silver - Best Corporate Affairs: Thungela Financial Results
🥈 Silver - In-house Team of the Year, awarded to Thungela

Lebo also joined the summit as part of the Under Pressure: Crisis Management in 2025 panel, adding her voice to a global industry conversation on crisis communications, pressure and the realities facing communicators today.

Between the awards and the panel discussion, Davos gave us a moment to take in how far the agency has come.

PR Powerhouse was built at a time when businesses were being forced to rethink how they communicate. Five years later, this recognition feels like a full-circle moment.

It speaks to the standard we keep coming back to: clear thinking, strong counsel and communications work that is built to hold up beyond the moment.

To our team, clients and partners, thank you for being part of the journey.

This one means a lot.

Most people think PR is about getting coverage, when it's actually about making sure the right story exists in the first place.

We help brands figure out what they stand for, shape how that comes across, and make sure it holds up when it matters most. If that's what your brand needs, let's talk: [email protected]

Tackling youth unemployment in South Africa requires collaboration where the public and private sectors work together to unlock opportunities for young people.

On eNCA, beneficiaries of the Mr Price Foundation shared their journeys and reflected on what is possible when business backs youth with focused, long-term investment.

They spoke about the challenges of securing that first opportunity and how programmes like the Foundation’s JumpStart and the Hope4Youth campaign helped them with practical training, workplace exposure and pathways into real jobs.

The interview also featured the Foundation’s Executive Director, Octavius Phukubye, who highlighted the importance of collaboration and called on companies to invest in skills pipelines, opening doors to workplace experience and creating room for young people to grow.

🎥Watch the video to see how the youth is turning skills into real opportunities that are opening pathways into South Africa’s economy.

We did it! We put our work to the test, and it paid off!

PR Powerhouse just brought home Gold for corporate communications and Bronze for crisis management at the 2025 PRISM Awards for our work with Thungela

Our Bronze winning campaign turned an environmental crisis into a story of restoration and responsibility, with the launch of Thungela’s Loskop Dam Fish Breeding Facility standing as a proud symbol of renewal.

Meanwhile, our Gold winning corporate communications campaign redefined Thungela’s public narrative by showcasing the company’s commitment to environmental stewardship, community upliftment, enterprise development and heritage initiatives.

We are grateful to every client who trusts us with their stories. This recognition is as much yours as it is ours.

This Boss’s Day, we salute our leader who has probably racked up more kilometres than a delivery van😀

From one meeting to the next, she drives the vision forward (literally).

Happy Boss's Day to our very own Founder and Managing Director, Lebo Madiba!

P.S. The first person we know can actually cut a ‘quick chat’ quickly.

One of the things we love most about impact work is seeing how collaboration can translate into real change on the ground.
Thungela has signed a Memorandum of Agreement with the University of Pretoria’s Educational Psychology Department to strengthen psycho-social support in Mpumalanga schools.
Master's students from the University of Pretoria’s Educational Psychology, supported by KFM Consulting and psychologists from the Mpumalanga Department of Education, will be placed in schools across Nkangala and Gert Sibande districts.
Their role is to provide psychosocial support to both educators and learners in the foundation and intermediate phases.
This agreement forms part of Thungela’s five-year education initiative, which aims to improve school readiness, literacy, and numeracy for Grade R to Grade 4 learners in 45, no-fee schools.
We were proud to shape the media story behind this milestone: https://social-tv.co.za/uncategorized/thungela-up-partner-to-aid-mpumalanga-schools/
