Johannesburg, March 12, 2025 – Brands South Africa, the official marketing and reputation management agency of South Africa, is pleased to announce the 7th Annual Nation Brand Forum.
Set on March 19, 2025, the flagship event unites government leaders, industry pioneers, civil society representatives and grassroots innovators to work together to form the South African national brand. Under the banner “Build partnerships to promote global competitiveness (uniformity of growth, unity that guides purpose), the forum is designed to highlight the role of comprehensive public partnerships in turning economic challenges into opportunities and fostering sustainable growth.
The forum will explore strategies that leverage the diverse assets and innovative possibilities of the country, from high-level discussions on G20/B20 initiatives to practical insights into local businesses and community projects. By highlighting the cohesive narrative that links meeting room strategies with grassroots outcomes, the event aims to strengthen the South African image as an attractive investment destination and a dynamic global player.
Initiatives like the Nation Brand Forum are more important than ever, following the 2023 BRICS host milestone in the wake of the successful World Economic Forum that was successful earlier this year. They play a pivotal role in building momentum towards the upcoming G20 president of South Africa and building momentum to promote the country's long-term global positioning.
“Our vision is to build a national brand that not only inspires our people, but also orders respect on the world stage,” said Neville Mudgee, CEO of South African brands. “This forum serves as an important platform for coordinating diverse perspectives and generating actionable insights that contribute to a resilient and competitive South African economy.”

The 2025 Nation Brand Forum will feature focused sessions, dynamic panel discussions and interactive digital content. These digital content presents a strategic blueprint for turning challenges into opportunities. From technological innovation to community-driven initiatives, by presenting authentic South African success stories, the forum highlights the unity and creative spirit that defines our nation.
