Thembekile Ntuli and Sonia Laverick
Laverick Media Communications was established by Sonia, Aletta (Sonia’s mom) and Thembekile (business partner) in 1998 to bring B2B Public Relations services to clients in mining and general industry. We soon realised that for PR campaigns to achieve maximum effect, demands the support of a good advertising campaign to ensure that a common message is shared with the target audiences. So in the early nineties, we added our advertising to our portfolio and Wilson was appointed as Advertising Manager. Graphic design, originally outsourced, was introduced as an in-house function 11 years ago, spearheaded by Melissa.
This has become our differentiating factor because we are one of very few agencies that offer both PR and advertising services.
Thembekile Ntuli
You were there for me from day one! And when we expanded our services, you coped, growing your skills and keeping step with the company as we developed. As the team grew, you embraced our new colleagues, making everyone feel welcome. You felt the loss of my mom as deeply as I did.
You are responsible for dispatching all the press releases and images to the media. You also wear the accounting hat and you do so with aplomb. Your work ethic, dedication and commitment are next level. But so much more than that Thembz … you are my adviser, my confidant and my very dear friend. You are Gogo to my two grandsons so we are family. Laverick Media would not have been here today if it was not for you Thembz, as my valued business partner. For these reasons and so many more, your name deserves a place next to mine …. Proudly Laverick Ntuli Communications!
