Zanusi Brand Solutions, Four Ways

Nomahlubi Simamane, CEO of Zanusi, was named Top Businesswoman of the Year at the 2009 National Business Awards.

Nomahlubi founded Zanusi Brand Solutions in 2001. She took advantage of the gap that existed in the market place where understanding the wider South African consumer base is limited and to offer integrated brand solutions. This accolade is a recognition of her leadership which has seen Zanusi register an annual compounded average revenue growth in the excess of 30% over the past five years.

This has been achieved through brand building strategies and activating plans for a variety of blue chip companies and state owned entities (including the likes of Airports Company (ACSA), Liberty Life Properties, the Film and Publication Board and the Nelson Mandela Childrens Fund). Zanusi is increasing its presence throughout the continent, opened offices in Nairobi, Kenya, making its mark working with clients like Zain, a heavy weight player in the telecommunications industry. The company employs twelve full time employees.
iZanusi is a Zulu word for the higher level of the third dimension, iZangoma (Traditional Healers, African Doctors). iZanusi provide solutions to problems, medication, meditation, rituals etc, to understand the beginning and the end. They are experts in their field, are acknowledgeable and are teachers. They are very much born in Africa.
