The Beat Behind Brands
Some brands whisper. Some shout. The ones people remember? They keep a steady pulse. We don’t just tell stories – we make them land.
At Pulse Communications, we don’t take ourselves too seriously, but we do take our work seriously. We’ll challenge you when it counts. Push ideas further. And make sure the work does what it’s supposed to do. Work.
From Cape Town to Lagos, Nairobi to Amsterdam, whether you’re expanding into Africa or owning your space in it, we make sure your message lands where it matters. We’re not here to be loud for the sake of it. We’re here to be heard and remembered.

Pulse Communications played an integral role as a PR partner for the 2024 Sustainable Infrastructure Development Symposium South Africa (SIDSSA), ensuring extensive media exposure for this high-profile government event. Their professionalism, strategic approach, and deep understanding of the infrastructure sector were invaluable in positioning SIDSSA as a key platform for policy and investment discussions.

Last year we as Geddes Capital started our journey with PR and Pulse Communications was recommended to us – it was the best choice! They have truly surpassed my expectations. They not only work extremely hard to understand the niche part of our business but are also just exceptional at communicating it and will always deliver over and above. I wholeheartedly recommend Pulse to any business seeking a partner that combines creativity, strategic acumen, and a genuine commitment to client success.

Kirsten and Sam are pure talent. They are able to take a small paragraph of information shared and transform it into an in-depth piece of writing that says everything we want to say, but could never write ourselves. They are responsive and extremely understanding of our needs and where to place our brand to get the best exposure.
