Who We Are

MANGO-OMC has decades of experience in strategic communication combined with a strong PR background. This gives us the ability to couple specialist marketing communication tools and analytics with creative, PR mindsets. We have a large, strong network of partnerships with other specialist agencies; ensuring that every client receives holistic support on every touchpoint in the marketing and communications matrix.

MANGO-OMC specialises in collaborative strategic partnerships, becoming an extension of your team and ensuring true understanding and buy-in of your brand. We operate this way for both project and retainer clients.

IPRN

MANGO-OMC is currently the only South African agency selected to be accepted into the International Public Relations Network (IPRN). Nicole Capper is the Regional Head for Africa and on the Media Relations Committee.

We regularly work on global projects through the Network and have access to world-class owner-led agencies in over 41 countries, meaning we can implement and manage a project anywhere on the globe.

The International Public Relations Network is a global network of over 53 owner-lead agencies from 5 continents, in over 41 countries and over 104 cities. The network is non-competing and works collaboratively on projects across the globe.

MEET THE CORE TEAM

This team forms the foundation for projects and retainers with skills contracted in as required. The networked model does not increase client costs as the financials have been devised to allow MANGO-OMC to bring in the best minds, experience and skillsets for your requirements while remaining cost effective.

OUR COLLABORATIVE PARTNERS

All of our partners work with us across projects and retainers at preferential rates and either directly with client or via MANGO-OMC as lead agency (whichever route is preferred by client). These are tried and tested relationships with agencies, companies and people that share MANGO-OMC’s ethos of excellent service and ethical delivery.

We are happy to work with existing client partners, but able to bring specialists to the table if required. We are also able to manage all of their services via our own team so that client has one contact person.

This model does not negatively impact on budgets as there are no additional mark-up or referral fees.

HOSPICE PALLIATIVE CARE ASSOCIATION Ewa Skowronska, MD, MPH, CEO Hospice Palliative Care Association

Working with Nicole is a dream! I was concerned that a marketing campaign would be ‘too much’ for us but her interaction has made it exciting and rewarding. We love what we do and she has understood that and helped us do it better. She gets our value add to the community. Her approach is professional, patient and consistently helpful in partnering with us on this journey. Her knowledge and connections in the media and marketing world have paved the way for increased exposure for our brand. We haven’t even finished our campaign and we already have increased membership and recognition in the community.

"MANGO-OMC proved to be an invaluable partner when we brought them on board to assist us with the PR and influencer management for the relaunched Eat Out (Woolworths) Restaurant Awards in 2022. Nicole’s years of experience, and the talented team she handpicked to work on this massive project, were key to us pulling off a memorable event and hitting our PR value targets."

New Media Aileen Lamb
CEO

“I have worked in NGO’s for over 20 years & finding great marketing & communications expertise was as elusive as looking for a needle in a haystack. We bounced around between in-house and outsourcing options and I can honestly say Nicole & her team have been the best I’ve ever worked with. She has the most wonderful combination of being strategic and also willing to dig into detail. I have learnt so much from the extensive experience that she brings to bear. She’s undoubtedly helped HPCA to raise our profile & build our brand. Highly, highly recommended.”
