Because you don’t need yet another agency.
You need someone who is as committed to your mission as you are. Someone who will make it their business to get to know your business. That’s us.
We build brands, design communications strategy and enable innovation for mission-driven startups and social enterprises.
We do it by getting to know your work from the inside out, and then building the teams, tools and processes you need to show up in a compelling way to the people who matter most.
Jeanne du Plessis, Rain Tree Founder
About Jeanne
I’m Jeanne du Plessis, the Founder and Managing Director of Rain Tree.
Before starting Rain Tree, I was the Communications and Corporate Citizenship Leader for Southern Africa at global consumer goods company, P&G. At P&G I was responsible for stakeholder relations, leading the local social impact strategy and for building and protecting the reputation of the company and its stable of household-name brands, such as Gillette, Always, Pampers, and Ariel.
Born and raised in South Africa, I have worked in the US, Europe, Asia and Africa in the corporate, academic and non-profit sector, including as a volunteer consultant for UNICEF in India. I hold a Masters in Inclusive Innovation from the Graduate School of Business at the University of Cape Town, an Honours in Commerce and a Higher Certificate in Journalism.
I am passionate about creating a more inclusive and sustainable world, the innovations that will shape what we take for granted tomorrow, and finding exactly the right word.
