Yes. We support clients across borders, working remotely and, where needed, in person.
Email info@southernlivecommunications.com with a short outline of what you need, or WhatsApp us on 060 252 0409. We will confirm the scope, fee and delivery date before any work begins.
Email us the details of the assignment: the service, the length or number of items, the date and where you are based. We reply with a written quote, so you have the scope and fee on record before we start.
Our published fees are per item, page, report, hour or day. For larger or ongoing work we will quote the total upfront so there are no surprises.
Many clients do. A conference might need secretariat support on the day, a report afterwards, and a press release and social posts to share the outcomes.
Contact us by email or WhatsApp with a brief outline of your requirements, whether you need corporate communications, report writing, documentation or secretariat support. We will review your enquiry and confirm the scope of work, applicable fees and expected delivery timeline before commencing the assignment.
