Arise Media is South Africa’s leading female-led digital marketing company

Arise Media, led by Sumana Mansingh, is committed to driving change in Africa’s digital media landscape while empowering women in business. Arise Media’s mission is to connect brands with consumers through savvy digital marketing strategy and execution, championing women’s excellence in leadership, business and entrepreneurship.

The launch of Arise Media on Women’s Day underscores the company’s commitment to addressing the significant gender gap in South African business and leadership. Despite making up 51.5% of South Africa’s population, women make up less than one in five business leaders. The Mastercard Index of Women Entrepreneurs (MIWE) found that women make up only 19.4% of South African business owners, and the country ranks 45th in the world for the number of companies run by women. If women and men were equally involved in entrepreneurship, global GDP could increase by up to 6%, boosting global economic growth by up to $5 trillion.

Arise Media’s vision is clear: empower female entrepreneurs to develop impactful digital marketing strategies and drive business growth. Led by Sumana Mansingh, a veteran female entrepreneur with many years of industry experience, Arise Media is at the forefront of transforming the African digital media landscape, building brands and driving positive growth.

Sumana Mansingh, Managing Director of Arise Media, commented: “I am delighted to announce the launch of Arise Media. We are breaking new ground in the digital marketing space in South Africa today. With our relentless commitment to diversity, innovation and excellence, we are poised to redefine the landscape and drive meaningful change for our progressive partners, brands, agencies and the Arise team.”
