Its well known that working in Africa can be a nightmare if you don't know it, with many countries in turmoil and corruption rife.
You need a company with their finger on the pulse of the happenings with a contact base to match. You don't have time to check up on a company every 5 minutes to make sure you are getting what you need for your next LIVE broadcast or SNG deployment.
You also don't have time to waste running around looking for satellite space and teleports to carry your signal back to base.
If this is you, you have come to the right place at last. Pity it took you so long.
Purple Turtle offer just such a service you can rest assured that your next SNG deployment that Purple Turtle Communications is running will go off without a hitch and be at the very high quality you expect.
We sort out everything you need, be it a broadcast in the Cape or even Cairo. If we say we can do it it WILL happen. We will take care of all the plans from cargo to flights to hotels and crews to take the load off you.
Sounds to good to be true. Give us a try or feel free to ask any of our very satisfied clients.
We may be smaller that other operators in Africa, but its our size that gives us the edge and speed the others lack. That and our management hands on approach, so you never have to deal with a trainee, you always have direct access to the owner of the company to get things done right the 1st time.

When you decide to spend money to communicate your product or produce aTV show, you want a company who know what they are doing, have a proven international track record, and understand media to the level of being "Guru's" so you can get the value for money you deserve.

Purple Turtle Communications is your one Stop Shop for effective Video Productions (it may be a cliche but for us its the truth).

Based in East London South Africa we are the only production company in the province with ongoing international productions as well as an extensive self owned broadcast television infrastructure matched by no other company in South Africa.

We Choose only to work with the very best people in their fields even if it means brining people into the region to achieve this. Quality is our focus and we do not settle for second best. No product leaves us without us being 100% happy and proud of it.

Because of this we will often refuse jobs as we are not able to deliver our quality product, most times this is because of limited budgets of the clients and or us not being able to see that the client knows what they want from the production and we will not waste their time and money.

We believe in helping clients to understand media better and from there be able to use it as a much more effective tool

We choose our clients and this way are able to maintain our good name globally. When you see the Purple Turtle Logo you KNOW it means quality.

We do work with clients as far as we can to help them see what they need and how we can make it happen best for them.
