# List of marketing and communications agencies in Africa
Tamtam tracks 63 marketing and communications agencies headquartered in Africa. This list ranks the 50 largest by number of employees on LinkedIn, led by Vendedor, Ignition Group and Graphic Designers SA. Their median headcount is 344. Half of them were founded in 2003 or later. The most common headquarters are Cape Town (11), Cairo (6) and Johannesburg (4).
This list features prominent marketing and communications agencies across Africa. The companies range from large groups like Primedia Group, an African-focused media and advertising group, to more specialized firms such as TSM, a sports marketing agency based in Casablanca. Vendedor, an Egyptian marketing startup, and Ignition Group, offering technology and media solutions, are also notable.
A clear pattern among these companies is their diverse specializations within the marketing and communications sector. While many offer broad advertising services, others focus on niche areas such as graphic design (Graphic Designers SA), printing services (Hirt & Carter), or technical event support (Multi-Media). South Africa and Egypt appear as key hubs for these operations.

## How this list is built
Every company on this list has a Tamtam company profile. The industry is the one the company gives on LinkedIn; categories such as SaaS or fintech are classified by Tamtam's AI from the company's website and LinkedIn page; and the headquarters city must match the company's own address. Companies are ranked by the number of employees on LinkedIn, and the list is refreshed every night. Classifications can be wrong, so treat the list as a starting point rather than an official ranking. Last updated Nov 12, 2026.
