About Us

Our Vision: To be the leader in giving a powerful voice to innovations that influence markets, inspire people and improve lives.
Proudly independent, Waggener Edstrom Worldwide is an integrated communications agency, started 27 years ago by Melissa Waggener and Pam Edstrom to give a powerful voice to innovations that influence markets, inspire people and improve lives. Over the past quarter century we have helped companies including Abbott Vascular, BMC, Microsoft and Shire, to name a few – achieve their business goals.
2010 marked the opening of our Johannesburg office. Led by Marcus Sorour, a ten-year South African marketing veteran, our South Africa office offers clients a combination of local communications experience and expertise complemented by our global team working across a number of sectors including, technology, corporate and renewable energy.
As adoption of digital communications escalates in South Africa, so does the opportunity for companies to rethink and evolve their approach to public relations and marketing. We get you closer to your customers and deliver influential campaigns that support and drives sales.
We’re passionate about growing the relevance of the public relations market, and if you’re interested becoming a client, employee or partner – please get in touch.
