We consider partnerships and affiliations as the best way of setting up the most knowledgeable, productive and cost-effective teams.

complement us in meeting client needs.

Bright! Communication uses a standard per hour rate to charge for PR and corporate communication services. The consultancy is

Namibian VAT-registered.

If you embark on a project with a definite start and end date that runs for a period shorter than 12 months, Bright! Communication

will calculate the fees on a project basis. This means that a 50% deposit is payable before the commencement of the project and the

remaining 50% of the total amount is payable immediately after the conclusion of the project.

If you require a variety of PR and corporate communication services, which normally results from a shortage of in-house skills, capacity

and/or resources; and requires consistent and continuous involvement for between one (1) and two (2) years, Bright! Communication will

calculate the fees on a monthly retainer basis.

Expenses incurred on behalf of the client has a 17% mark-up.

Bright! Communication prefers a long-standing mutually beneficial relationship with clients. A strong long-term relationship with a client

ensures campaigns, projects, strategies, plans and research can be fully executed resulting in expectations and outcomes being met

successfully. This results in the most positive impact on a company’s reputation.
