Who is the looking glass?

Established in 2003, The Looking Glass is a small through the line agency with a key focus on producing strategically creative work for our clients. Our clients range from retainers with large professional businesses right through to smaller, local businesses.

Forming solid relationships with our clients is as important as our internal working environment with our peers. We don’t believe in hierarchies but rather in collaborating as a unified team. We don’t do egos but do love a good laugh and passionate people.

We’re a small 8 woman team but work on big, B2B corporates across South Africa.

Team work, laughter and adding value to our clients is an ethos we’ve taken care to craft over our 21 years. Culture and fit is essential for us because we work so closely with one another and our clients, we need to align on work ethics and values.
