SLOGAN

Our slogan, “IT’S ALL IN THE BRAND!”, depicts what we believe the brand is the ultimate competitive advantage of any organisation. What a brand depicts and communicates in the marketplace is in essence the brand experience it promises to deliver to its customers. It is the promise of value-adds customers are to receive from purchasing a product or making use of a service.

Hence, we believe it begins and ends with the brand, therefore it is imperative that all contributing elements that make up a brand are well aligned to live up to its promise.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The enterprise is led by its Founding Member who has extensive experience in Business Development, Project Management, Sales and Marketing, Advertising and Branding. Based on the expansion goals and objectives of the enterprise, the company is in the process of establishing a Member Board that will act as an oversight committee to ensure accountability, responsible governance and the decentralisation of power. The criteria for members is based on selecting individuals who have the relevant expertise and professionalism to add value, who share the vision and mission statement, and are committed to achieving the company’s objectives.

In line with the South African Government's objectives of Job Creation, Economic Transformation, Wealth Distribution and Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment (BBBEE), the company’s growth objectives include plans to introduce an Employee Share Option Programme (ESOP), Preferential Employment Equity Policy, Gender Equity Empowerment Policy and a BBBEE Equity Shareholder Programme.

Latita Communications is a responsible corporate citizen and abides by the South African Companies Act and is committed to complying with all the relevant mandatory, statutory laws, rules and regulations, associated bodies and institutions governing our chosen field of interest.

EMPOWERMENT INITIATIVES

In addition to our planned empowerment initiatives for our employees and the member board to be constituted, we are committed to the empowerment of SMME’s. We believe that the SMME sector will be the main contributors in addressing the challenge of unemployment. Therefore we have developed capacity partnerships with various SMME’s as our outsourced associates to provide the relevant services.

With our expansion objectives we plan to evolve into an umbrella group housing various SMME services providers, who will hopefully benefit economically to expand their operations and create employment opportunities.

Considering that we operate in an emerging market, South Africa can be seen as virgin land. There are many services and products which have not been realised or fully exploited. Brand Empowerment Solutions is one of these services amongst many that have been outlined in the growth objectives for the country. Developing a favourable image of South Africa and the Businesses operating in this economy require professionals such as ourselves to assist in achieving this objective. Our service revenues are primarily realised through consultantion fees, project management fees and per hour rate charges, depending on the relationship customers want to enter into.

The required investment will be used for resource acquisition, working capital, as well as marketing and advertising communication initiatives. Considering that our business is not capital and labour intensive, what we offer is a less risky investment opprotunity. The investment is to underwiritte operational expenses of a minimum of 6 months to a maximum of 12 months. The investor will realise the principle plus interest repayment in a period of 12-24 months from intial investment. Should the investor wish to a explore shareholder equity arrangement we would be open to that option.
