Pinnacle Marketing is an independent broker, specialising in the development and marketing of unique short-term insurance products; our specialist areas being the cellular and retail industries. Our products are designed for our clients particular needs.
These products are well-researched, they have been well-received, they are always relevant, and they are rated by our clients, and our competition, as some of the industry's best.
Our staff are chosen, in part, for their ability to think out the box, both individually and in a team environment. Remarkable thinking and idea sharing is intrinsic to our culture. It is encouraged at every opportunity. Our products are unique, relevant and highly-rated primarily thanks to the thought that goes into their development.
We are a company built on relationships, built on trust and on service. Each of these cornerstones requires that we live our values on a daily basis. The phrase "honesty without exception" actually means something at Pinnacle, simply because exemplary service and genuine caring demand nothing less.
We don't settle for mediocrity at Pinnacle; rather we strive to live in excellence. This means being constantly engaged in "being better". It means evolving our products and improving our skills; going an extra mile just to put a smile on someone's face. It means being dedicated to the very highest levels of service.
Pinnacle Marketing follows a Black Economic Empowerment (BEE) strategy, focused in the key areas of management, employment equity, skills development, procurement, enterprise development and corporate social investment. We recognise that transformation and BEE policies are integral to sustainable business practices. So we constantly engage in empowering our employees, as well as our broader communities, believing that success and responsibility go hand in hand, and that our success must be used to ensure upliftment. We do this through social investment, enterprise development and simple, honest caring.
