MARKETING, ADVERTISING AND COMMUNICATION SECTOR CODE
1. INTRODUCTION
We, members of the broader marketing, advertising, public relations, communication and research industry as well as
related sectors, recognise the critical role our industry fulfils in South Africa. We are mindful of the impact our industry has
on millions of our people across all walks of South African life, therefore we accept the responsibility consequent thereto.
We further acknowledge that marketing and advertising communication as the livewire of a free market-based economy is
an intrusive form of communication to which over 47 million South Africans are subjected to every day of their lives. For
such a small industry, its power to influence South Africans is disproportionate to its size; hence the need to make it a
truly South African industry is imperative.
2. SCOPE OF APPLICATION
The provisions of this Sector Code apply to Advertising, Public Relations and Communication as marketing vehicles in all
media including digital platforms. It is applicable to companies who derive more than 50% of their turnover from this
sector. It is acknowledged that the Amended Codes of Good Practice will govern the management of B-BBEE. The MAC
Sector Code will take precedence except when the MAC Sector Code is silent; the Amended Generic Codes of Good
Practice will apply including but not limited to Key Measurement Principles and Definitions.
2.1 An advertising company is an enterprise whose core business is the conceptualisation, creation and
production of advertising to foster a relationship between a product and the consumer.
2.2 A public relations company is an enterprise whose core business is the conceptualisation, creation and
implementation of communication to facilitate a relationship between a product and the public.
2.3 A communication company is an enterprise whose core business is the conceptualisation, creation,
production and implementation of communication as a marketing tool in two or more of the following
disciplines;
Advertising
Public Relations
Experiential
Design
2.4 This will apply specifically to the following:
2.4.1 Advertising in general with particular reference to the following forms:
Through the line: Traditional form of advertising using all paid for media from electronic to print
embracing interactive and non-interactive response mechanisms.
Above the line: Traditional form of advertising using all paid for media from electronic to print
excluding interactive response mechanisms.
Below the line: Traditional form of advertising using all paid for media from electronic to print as
interactive response mechanisms.
Experiential: Traditional form of advertising using unconventional media like events and functions to
physically bring the experience of the product to the consumers.
Digital: An umbrella term for marketing and advertising activities using technology as the format and
the internet for distribution. This would include the desktop and mobile web, display & search
advertising, native advertising, social media, mobile applications, digital activations, internet-based
outdoor and streaming media.
Design: Design as a classical communications discipline as well as an integral element of Integrated
Marketing Communication in all paid for media.
Integrated Marketing Communication (IMC): Is the application of consistent brand messaging
across both traditional and non-traditional marketing and communication channels and using different
promotional methods to reinforce each other in order to (a) deliver the same message and (b) create
maximum marketing effect through synergy.

2.4.2 Communication
Public Relations: Traditional form of communication that employs all media from electronic to print by
issuing media releases, communiqués, statements and advertorials.
Social Marketing: Communication form that uses all media as in public relations, traditional
advertising and experiential for cause related communications.
2.5 In as far as the marketing sector is referred to in this document, it is with the understanding that they are
clients, who themselves could belong or subscribe to their own or other sector specific codes.
For example: marketers in the mining industry are bound by the Mining Sector Code.
In October 2001, the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Communications, an organ of the National Assembly,
convened public hearings into the pace of transformation in the advertising and marketing value chain.
After finding that the pace of transformation in the value chain was unacceptably slow, the Parliamentary Portfolio
Committee on Communications directed government, through Government Communications and Information System
(GCIS) and the Department of Communications, to facilitate a consultative process with all stakeholders to find a common
blueprint for the transformation of the industry. This mandate resulted in the first joint undertaking by all stakeholders to
commit to a unified view and common approach as contained in the values statement. This was codified as "The Values
Statement of the Marketing and Communication Industry". It was endorsed by all stakeholders, adopted and signed
on 23 April 2003.
3 VALUES STATEMENT
As a statement of values of an industry which is global in its outlook and reach, and genuinely South African in
its roots, we of the marketing, advertising and communication industry state that:
We acknowledge that like the rest of South African society, we have been plagued by the injustices of South Africa’s racist
past in terms of employee representivity, ownership and decision-making.
We further recognise that the industry plays a critical role in the creation of wealth and the development of our economy,
and believe that transformation of the industry is essential for its long-term growth and the upliftment of people who have
historically been disadvantaged. In the spirit of the Constitution of South Africa, we believe that "South Africa belongs to
all who live in it, united in our diversity and committed to improve the quality of life of all citizens and the potential of each
person."
We hereby commit ourselves to the following values:
I. Inclusivity and Diversity:
(a) The sector reflects and shapes the norms of our society. As such it must be committed to reflecting the
values and aspirations of all South Africans.
(b) This requires that the industry – in its ownership as well as in the traditions and cultures it draws upon – to
reflect the diversity of the South African population.
(c) The industry is committed to sustainable skills development, which enables all our people to enjoy access to
the knowledge base needed to shape their destinies within the industry.
II. Soul of the Nation
(a) This industry works in the context of a unique transition – a transition described as a miracle.
(b) We shall use our strengths to promote pride in the South African Brand.
The industry can contribute to the transition by promoting understanding and appreciating our diverse
cultures, traditions, histories, abilities and disabilities. It can highlight prejudice where it exists by promoting
tolerance of all human beings. In doing so, the sector can become a mirror of the soul of the nation.

STAATSKOERANT, 1 APRIL 2016 No. 39887 43
III. Respect and Human Dignity
(a) The industry works in a society where the poor, the illiterate, the disabled, women and children suffer a
myriad of intolerances. While working for their amelioration and empowerment, the industry shall ensure that
the dignity of all human beings, and in particular of these vulnerable groups, is respected.
(b) The industry recognises the difficulty of escaping the stereotyping of any group. Where this has to be
resorted to, the industry shall take particular care not to stereotype or use humour in a manner to target
groups mentioned above.
IV. Business and People’s Needs
(a) We recognise that the consumer is at the core of our business. Recognising that the industry serves
business in its endeavour to create wealth, we shall ensure that the requirement and sensitivities of the
consumer are placed at the centre of all our creativity and planning. In doing so, we shall better serve the
commercial needs to business as well as the long-term aspirations of the South African nation.
(b) Furthermore, the industry shall be committed to abiding by the principle of good corporate governance and
abide by the highest standards of ethical business practices.
V. Responsible Creativity
(a) We are mindful that this is an industry which impacts on the views and aspirations of the entire population.
(b) This means that the industry must act sensitively while endeavouring to break the bounds of creative
barriers. Such commitment will lay the basis for a self-regulation regime that can best serve all stakeholders.
Whilst this Sector Code endeavours to achieve redress, the commitment made in this Sector Code shall not place
limits upon the various rights and obligations enshrined in the Constitution and protected by the Bill of Rights,
especially the Freedom of Expression.
Distilled from the values are the objectives
1. Transformation
2. Truly South African industry
3. Creativity
4. COMMITMENT AND UNDERTAKINGS
This need was recognised by the Association for Communication and Advertising (ACA) previously known as the
Association of Advertising Agencies (AAA) herein after referred to as ACA in 2000:
"We, members of the ACA, believe that our industry should be the creator and custodian of truly outstanding South
African advertising and communication ideas, ideas that while proudly proclaiming their African heritage, still communicate
effectively within the global context. We, accordingly, jointly and severally commit ourselves to the harnessing of all
resources at our disposal towards the transformation of our industry and related disciplines to reflect and represent the
totality of skills and contribution from our unique South African experience."
We, further, pledge ourselves to the actualisation of empowerment and transformation goals as determined by prevailing
industry needs and dictates in order to achieve meaningful and total involvement of those formerly excluded from the real
process. We are irrevocably committed to changing our industry for the better and shall only open membership of the
Association of Advertising Agencies to those who demonstrate their commitment to transformation by adopting and
signing this Charter.
We will therefore establish the advertising industry as unique to South Africa; for all the people of South Africa; by all the
people of South Africa; promote the constitutional right of equality and the exercise of true democracy; eliminate unfair
discrimination; ensure the implementation of employment equity to redress the effects of discrimination; achieve a diverse
workforce broadly representative of our people; promote economic development and efficiency in the workforce; provide
training and skills through the AAA School of Advertising to students previously excluded from access initiate practical
training programmes for skills development; change the culture of our organisation and members to accept and implement
the changes; seek and accept equity partners to reflect the true demography and rich cultures of South Africa;

support and encourage each other in reaching our stated goals in letter and spirit; irrevocably bind ourselves to measures
to achieve these goals within a reasonable time.
Public Relations Institute of Southern Africa (PRISA):
“Transformation is the implementation of fundamental changes to the way we do things to become and remain a
successful organisation. The availability of various talent, competencies and cultural backgrounds among members of the
Institute will enhance performance and stature. Therefore, PRISA is committed to a process of transformation that will
accelerate opportunities for diversity and growth and will make its membership representative of the South African

13 Responsible Social Marketing and Communications
In a society where the national agenda national agenda takes precedence, it is important that social marketing pays heed
and promotes it in a responsible yet creative manner. This will ensure that all messages aimed at promoting social
coherence and edification are consistent with the national agenda in the best interest of society.
Social marketing is the use of any marketing communications platform for the purpose of encouraging society to embrace
habits and practices that contribute to its collective wellbeing and welfare. This can be achieved by a number of
approaches:
Cultivating new habits and practices
Encouraging adoption of good behavioural methods
Discouraging behavioural patterns that have negative impact on society
Reinforcing behavioural patterns that contribute to good fellowship and citizenry
For instance, South Africa has recognised the deleterious effects of obesity on the general welfare of the country. While
this recognition has not been elevated to a statutory imperative, it has been identified and accepted as a threat to the
wellbeing of society. Therefore it would be irresponsible of the MAC Sector to promote it in any manner or platform.
Driving with an alcohol level above the national limit is a statutory offence and has dire consequences that impact
negatively on the national welfare. The resultant damage, grief and sorrow can never be adequately quantified. Therefore
the MAC Sector is constrained to making sure that this national issue is clearly and unambiguously communicated in the
interest of social cohesion.
Fulfillment of this additional pillar will be measured by the contribution MAC Sector entities make towards the promotion of
responsible social marketing through involvement in a programme designed to propound, propagate and entrench
responsible social marketing:
Attendance of sector RSM initiatives
Attaining no adverse RSM ruling for the year under review
The South African Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) will be the MAC Sector organ entrusted with the responsibility of
managing this element of the MAC Sector Codes.

The South African Advertising Research Foundation hereby re- affirms that it identifies
with the Marketing, Advertising and Communication Charter and pledges to advocate,
promote and support the transformation goals and targets contained therein.
Although the Charter does not apply to SAARF as a non -profit organization, SAARF will
endeavour as far as it is able to, to comply with the spirit of the MAC Charter and
reaffirms it support of the transformation goals and targets contained therein.
SAARF's members represent the diversity of the communication industry, and the vast
majority already has their own programmes in place in their respective industries.
However, they also wish to express their in- principle support for the Charter again and
have it noted as such
As it will not be appropriate for SAARF to serve on the MAC Charter Council (since it is
a non- profit research organization whose members in any event comprise
representatives of industry players), SAARF will not be nominating anybody to serve on
the MAC Charter Council.
