NineNovember's Joburg alliance

Charl Nel of NineNovember announced recently that it will be forming a strategic alliance with a new niche agency to be formed in Johannesburg during the following few months. Nel, who has commuted since the inception of the new venture, will serve as MD for the Johannesburg agency until such time a permanent MD is appointed. Some of Nel's long-standing clients from Cape Town will form part of the deal as a separate business unit, still to be named.
