ABOUT US
CSA is a globally recognized, award winning agency specializing in culture & entertainment brand marketing.

OUR MISSION
We connect brands with the storytellers who produce powerful, authentic content and deliver it to the people they influence most, building cultural brand relevance in the process.
THE NETWORK
CSA AFRICA
Our love for Africa has been cemented over years of experience across the continent. Recognising logistical restrictions around traditional media, we provide innovative and non-traditional ways to distribute content – affording brands “leapfrog abilities” to communicate with their audiences.
We also represent and work with some of Africa’s most recognised talent, both on the continent & globally, while building opportunities within the cultural & creative economy.
CSA AMERICA
Set in the heart of the global entertainment industry, CSA’s Beverly Hills headquarters has direct access to international talent, enabling the agency to operate as a powerful global network with real impact.
Simultaneously, CSA offers an effective approach to both bringing Africa to the world as well as enabling trans-Atlantic brands with the opportunity to break into the African market.
ASSOCIATED OFFICES
As the globe turns its attention to Africa, we identify and amplify trends, taste makers and cultural innovators who resonate with the African Diaspora. The diaspora often influence, and are influenced by events, shifts, trends in their country of origin – catalyzing an afrocentric touch to global culture.
