Are you a Marketing or Public Relations professional looking to use your skills to make a real impact? The Society for Animals in Distress (SAID) has been changing lives-animal and human-for 67 years, yet we remain one of South Africa’s best-kept secrets. We need your voice to help us change that.
About Us:SAID is a trusted and respected NPO delivering professional veterinary care, community education, and long-term solutions to animal suffering. Our work spans generations, yet our brand visibility doesn’t reflect our legacy or impact. We are ready to change that-and we need a communications champion to help us do it.
Your Role:As our volunteer Marketing & PR Lead, you’ll help us:
Develop a brand awareness strategy that resonates with both traditional and digital audiences.
Create engaging content that tells our powerful stories across media platforms.
Cultivate media relationships and help us secure press coverage.
Identify visibility opportunities, including partnerships, interviews, and campaigns.
Support the rollout of new projects, events, and fundraising drives with impactful messaging.
Background in marketing, communications, public relations, or journalism.
Strong understanding of brand storytelling and media outreach.
Passionate about animal welfare, community upliftment, and creating lasting change.
Able to think creatively and work independently within a mission-driven team.
You’ll be helping an organisation with a 67-year legacy finally step into the spotlight it deserves-and with it, help thousands more animals and communities who need us. Your work will lay the foundation for stronger partnerships, deeper donor relationships, and a South Africa where no animal suffers in silence.
Join us and be the voice behind our vision.
