1. Corporate Membership:
To find out more and/or apply for Corporate Membership, please contact brian@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 designation. They pay an annual fee dependent on the Designation they hold.
Our Association is recognised by the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA) as a professional body for marketing in South Africa. Government recognition at this level re-affirms the Association’s position as a leading player in the country’s Marketing sector, with the endorsement further elevating MASA’s already highly respected and revered professional designations:
- Chartered Marketer South Africa – CMSA
- Marketing Practitioner South Africa – MPSA
