We are a proudly KwaZulu-Natal business with a dominant regional footprint, a growing presence in Gauteng and deep, long-standing relationships with South Africa’s leading media agencies.
Face First Media was founded in Greytown, KwaZulu-Natal, in 2011 by Stevan Wilken, starting with a handful of sites and a small base of loyal clients.
The business grew steadily by developing quality sites, expanding its KZN footprint, building trusted relationships with leading media agencies and landlords, entering Gauteng and establishing in-house manufacturing capability to strengthen control over quality and delivery.
Today, Face First Media is one of South Africa’s leading independent out-of-home media owners. We are renowned for our strength across KwaZulu-Natal and recognised nationally through our relationships with the country’s leading media agencies.
We remain proudly independent and committed to the responsiveness, personal accountability and practical problem-solving that have defined the business from the start.
We assess each brief carefully and recommend sites that best support the audience, geography and campaign objectives.
Our agency partners, landlords and direct clients return because we value trust, responsiveness, honest communication and long-term relationships.
We manage the detail and remain accountable from site selection and production coordination through to flighting and proof of posting.
We invest in our sites, our people and the communities in which we operate while growing the business deliberately and sustainably.
Face First Media operates an extensive network of static and digital outdoor media across KwaZulu-Natal, supported by a growing portfolio in Gauteng.
Our sites cover major highways, arterial routes, commercial centres, regional towns and local communities. This physical network is strengthened by our national industry relationships and our ability to work closely with South Africa’s leading media agencies.
Face First Media is committed to meaningful transformation and to supporting the communities in which we operate through practical, locally relevant initiatives.
We are B-BBEE accredited and through an established Level 1 B-BBEE partner, we can provide qualifying clients with access to a Level 1 procurement solution where required.
