The Team

Grant Jansen and Lola Lazarus are “Hands-On” Managing Members of Bullion PR & Communication.

Our writers, pedigreed in the business press, are adept at financial, consumer, trade and technical journalism. The South African and international business ethos has never been as multi-layered as it is today; each is an audience that must be considered. Years of experience have engendered a flair and understanding of the jargon and style required to reach this increasingly fragmenting readership.

Bullion understands the importance of quality control and a precise understanding of media needs.
Accordingly we direct announcements to the target medium in the format, style, and manner in which they are most likely to be accepted for publication.

It is a procedure that works. Our reputation for maximizing publicity is well known, and is a cornerstone of our success.  


Answering the clarion call for skills development  

Skills development is crucial for the country’s economic growth and sustainability.

For our part Bullion has arrangements with Universities and Technikons nationally, which entails training communication graduates, thereby giving them the necessary experience to compete in the job market. Underscoring the significance of this initiative is the personal involvement of the MD Lola Lazarus in mentoring the graduates.

Over the past 14 years Bullion has taken on 1 to 2 students annually in order to afford them the opportunity to qualify by completing their inservice training.
