OUR
STORY


Try not to sleep.
Once upon a time, two over optimistic women decided to open an agency. They needed to do things differently in an industry where agility and purpose felt unnatural. A home for brands and other special humans to do work they didn’t hate. So, in 2014, we launched with no clients and no office. But as growth would have it, it took 10 years for the Base to establish itself as an agency that was unapologetically female and fierce, championing execution and doing work clients love. If you’re still awake, fast forward to 2025. We’re 11 years in, with a team of 20 media warriors, and we pride ourselves with partnering with brands that bring us hard problems to solve. We go beyond clicks and billboards solving real business problems for marketing executives who trust us.
From Momentum, Wits Plus, UNISA, Legacy Lifestyle to TATA, we’re a solid partner for big-impact media needs across the continent. And by that, we mean we have another office in Zambia.
Have a business problem that needs a strong Base to shift your brand? We could have a look at it for you.
So welcome to Base Five. A media agency that is digitally led, connecting content to culturally relevant channels, driving the bottom line.
