We believe our current work and staff complement is seamlessly aligned to what Grey globally aims to achieve.” says Grey Africa MD Paul Jackson.  “The incredible momentum achieved by the Grey network over the last few years, and especially since our mid-2014 integration, is inspiring and energising to the Grey Africa Group and bears testimony to the solid internal group ethos and the efficacy of delivering famously effective work for our clients.”
