About Us

MAGNA CARTA MORE THAN A NAME

Magna Carta represents a philosophy that underpins the very essence of our company. King John of England signed the Magna Carta, ensuring that his subjects “… have and enjoy all liberties and immunities of free and natural subjects.”

OUR ROLE: A REPUTATION MANAGEMENT CONSULTANCY

Social media has disrupted traditional channels of influence enabling us to connect directly with relevant media, stakeholders and influencers. Our integration of the old with the new, through constant development and innovation of our services and products, ensures that our clients maintain a competitive edge while managing their reputational risk in the 24/7 media landscape.
Founded in 1994, the year of South Africa’s democracy, Magna Carta understands the value of freedom and liberty for all people as well as the responsibility that comes with that freedom.
