Z..A.ZEN offers services in strategic marketing consulting, including strategic and creative marketing services, business consulting, strategic planning workshop facilitation and plan development; professional business writing skills and value-added small-scale manufacturing and sourcing.
What makes Z.A.ZEN different?
Frequent and responsive personal contact with clients, listening to client’s needs, the flexibility to work with large and small organisations, simplifying corporate solutions, creative and unusual approaches, understanding complex, multi-level issues, the ability to assist from strategy to implementation, doing as we say, saying as we do, and creating strategic solutions that work.
For larger jobs, we lead project teams with specialised independent consultants, researchers, graphic designers, writers and other creative individuals and companies.
Z.A.ZEN is dedicated to giving back through a 10-year long social entrepreneurial commitment to opening markets for small businesses and crafters, growing businesses to create jobs and assisting others in all we do.
Our value system is developed around giving back, and a portion of our businesses as an export agent and jewellery manufacturer is built around providing benefits to others, either through opening markets, assisting with small businesses, or creating jobs and income in Johannesburg and elsewhere in Africa.
Our strategic marketing solutions focus upon organisations dedicated to social responsibility, conservation and tourism, and small business development in Southern Africa.
Z.A.ZEN Marketing & Consulting is a closed corporation, based in Johannesburg since 2002.
