1. Corporate Membership:
To find out more and/or apply for Corporate Membership, please contact sechaba@marketingsa.co.za
The corporate membership model is flexible and enjoys all of the benefits that individual members enjoy (for the registered team Members), however there are added benefits such as exposure for your brand. The benefit of this Membership type is also that these members will be invited to speak at our events, before considering other alternatives- therefore, it is a platform to present your expertise to other Marketers. The fees for this Membership is dependent on the size of the team, the brand and its goals, as we take a tailored approach to meet the needs of your business.
2. Individual Membership

Individuals automatically become MASA Individual Members once they receive their designatation. They pay an annual fee dependent on the Designation they hold.

- Chartered Marketer South Africa – CMSA
