Isilumko Activate was born from StudentWise. A brand which to many of South Africa’s most successful business leaders is synonymous with extra cash in their pockets – and good times – while they were students. We proudly continue the legacy of providing our future corporate giants with the opportunity to gain valuable work experience, learn how to operate in a team, distinguish themselves as leaders and interact with top brands – all while building their bank balances.

Our client values are born from our consumer focus culture. We understand our consumer, we know our clients, and we love what we do! We believe our passion, experience, dedication and creating long-lasting partnerships with our clients resonate in everything we do, and in turn it is poured into each campaign.

Every detail matters, every touch point is meaningful, and every conversation should create new opportunities for Brand Love. We focus on the best output for the ultimate ROI, going above and beyond to bring our clients top class work.

We believe actions speak louder than words. Our vision is to create experiences that connect brands with consumers. We empower people, connect and engage, creating meaningful and impactful campaigns. We add value and go above and beyond.

Our approach brings brand – purpose into the brand’s value proposition. Isilumko is known for quality insights, creative and conceptual work, and on-the-ground execution. We believe in working holistically and creating 360° integrated campaigns, bringing brands to life.
