The ADreach Group was established in 1998 and today boasts more than 40,000 advertising sites across South Africa - delivering more targeted opportunities than any other outdoor advertising company in the country.
An entrepreneurial enterprise with a vision for the development of exciting Out of Home Media Solutions, ADreach is widely regarded as South Africa's most innovative company in the industry. ADreach's entrepreneurial vision is underpinned by a commitment to genuine empowerement and skills transfer, as well as grass roots Socio-Economic Development Initiatives.
The Group boasts solid black economic empowerment credentials, with highly regarded businessmen such as Cyril Ramaphosa, Pasty Malefo and Jonathan Beare among its shareholders.
The repetitive nature of Street Pole Ads (the company's flagship product) together with our ground-breaking mixed media applications, offer the marketer cost effective frequency and reach. The flexibility of the Street Pole Ads medium and the ability to customise solutions to targeted audiences, offers the advertiser uniquely powerful advertising poster campaigns.
As part of its vision of participating in the socio-economic transformation of emerging markets within South Africa, ADreach is committed to making a genuine difference to South Africa, and this means playing a part in the social and economic development of the country, through sponsorships or donations, and of course, hands-on involvement.
Inspired by the vision of providing 'empowerment and growth through sport', SCARC was established at Orlando Dam in 2003 by one of the ADreach founders and current CEO, Brad Fisher. Since inception SCARC has grown into an exceptional program that imparts career guidance, tutoring, scholarships and, possible career opportunities within ADreach.
During 2007 SCARC was a finalist in the Jack Cheetham Memorial Award. Further to this, SCARC mentor, Mike Mbanjwa, was the first ever black Dusi winner.
Examples of media rental sponsorships include; Crime line, Lifeline, Arrive Alive, AIDS Awareness, Gender Violence, Guide Dogs Association, NSPCA, SHOUT SA, Sunshine Association, etc.
According to Danny K, musician and Co-Founder of SHOUT SA :
"Every company has the ability to do something positive for South Africa. ADreach has opted to use what it is they do to ensure that this country moves along in the right direction. The SHOUT team realised very quickly that ADreach was a company that shared the same ethics as us; a company committed to South Africa and the betterment of our country."
In certain areas, the Group's involvement extends to legal enforcement of by-laws via prosecution and the issuing and collection of fines; thus further assisting municipalities in the conservation of high quality public environments.
ADreach strongly supports the new BBBEE code, and in particular the components that focus on grass-roots development such as Enterprise Development and Socio-economic Development that actively promote job creation and better standards of living for South Africa's most disadvantaged individuals.
ADreach has a firm commitment to 'Sustainable Transformation' and is moving along a process whereby transformation is fused into the very fabric of the businesses. This process is brought to fruition through a number of practices and procedures, which have included internship programmes, aimed at identifying career advancement opportunities and providing an aggressive training program that is made available to existing employees.
Working together with local government to establish revitalised streetscapes with outstanding street furniture innovations, ADreach is proud to offer the technology, experience and resources that make us South Africa's market leader in innovative outdoor media alternatives.
