19 November 2014 – GlobeScan, a specialist consultancy offering stakeholder intelligence and engagement advisory services, announced today that it is opening its Cape Town office in South Africa. With offices in London, San Francisco and Toronto, this new office opening marks an important milestone for GlobeScan who, for the past 27 years, has been partnering with South African and global clients with an interest in building stronger and more trusting relationships with their stakeholders.
Christophe Guibeleguiet, GlobeScan co-CEO said: “We are delighted about this new development. GlobeScan has been working across Africa for global companies, multilateral organizations and international NGOs for over a decade. Our client network in South Africa has expanded to such an extent that it was a natural step for us to open a new office here. Our clients will be supported by a dedicated team who have a strong local knowledge of these new dynamic markets, fully understand the stakeholder ecosystem and can help them achieve better outcomes from their stakeholder engagement.”
Through its work with global companies, GlobeScan has demonstrated how proactive stakeholder research and engagement enhances leadership positioning, builds stronger reputations and ultimately results in long term business success.
Anneke Greyling, Director at Globescan South Africa added: “We are ideally positioned to combine in-depth local knowledge with global best practice and we will leverage our global network to the benefit of our clients. Our research shows that there is a growing need for greater integration of all activities related to stakeholder engagement. Most importantly, we will share years of accumulated knowledge in strategic stakeholder intelligence programmes across a wide range of industry verticals.”
This new Cape Town based office will serve as a pan-African hub for GlobeScan.
