About Ronelle Bester

Two decades after starting Red Ribbon Communications, it still rocks my world when we generate positive engagement for clients and boost the growth of cutting-edge companies. Back then I was armed with little more than a laptop, a phone line and a bold business vision. The idea was simple: to offer my expertise to the emerging Cape Town start-up tech community. Today, we’re one of the most sought-after B2B content agencies in South Africa, with a growing client base that includes local start-ups and international power players; loving the infectious passion of the former and the innovation-rich cultures of the latter. Despite this success, we’ve intentionally remained a small, owner-managed business providing the same personalised service that has always been a core part of our offering. It also keeps us agile, so you get real-time decision-making and fast responses. Although public relations have changed dramatically over the years, one thing always remains the same for me: the thrill of working in the industry. After 20 years, I appreciate that B2B companies have many choices, but we’re privileged to work with many of the world’s top brands, including Fortinet, KnowBe4, and Nclose amongst many others. Here’s what I think we do differently: We don’t count hours. Excellence isn’t on the clock; it’s in our commitment to delivering quality service. We don't take no for an answer. We do whatever it takes to ensure great results for our clients. We’re great people to work with! We are also a proud member of Brands2Life Global and Convoy Global PR Group. As a country girl with a city heart, I value work-life balance, and this is how I manage my company. I love spending time with my kids on the farm but I also find my work satisfying. This ethos is shared by my team who work 100% remotely and enjoy many health, well-being, and self-care benefits. This makes them happier, healthier, and client-pleasing rock stars! So, if you want to differentiate your B2B business, raise your profile online and create brand awareness, you’ve come to the right place. Let's connect: ronelle@redribboncommunications.co.za
