'WE KNOW OUR MARKET'
"As an independent media company, we are committed to presenting content that our readers and listeners enjoy and respond to creating a positive and engaging advertising environment. It’s a formula that continues to deliver results and has helped us build and grow Ballito’s premiere media brand.
We understand the dynamics of the market we operate in, and we know that staying relevant means constantly innovating. That’s why we’ve expanded our reach beyond the KZN North Coast with strategic national exposure. Our magazine is now available in select airport lounges, on SAA inflight entertainment systems, and at premium national distribution points offering our advertisers even broader access to an upmarket, engaged audience.
We offer a comprehensive, multi-platform advertising opportunity on air, online, and in print, designed to give brands meaningful visibility across channels. Our pricing structure ensures that even small businesses can comfortably access effective advertising that gets results.
We’d love to help you grow your market share in our region, and now across the country." ​

WE'VE GOT THE NORTH COAST COVERED
The Life & Style media brand was established in 2004 to cater for the rapidly growing community in the Ballito region of KZN. Former 5FM presenter and award-winning Specialist Television Producer, Dave Charles, and his Art Director wife, Sue, created a stylish publication in newsprint targeting the trendy, affluent, discerning reader giving advertisers direct access to the upper LSM market in the region.
​
Life & Style’s growth and innovation since inception has resulted in us comfortably claiming the title of leading independent multimedia brand in the region. Life & Style has evolved to include a ground-breaking mix of digital
and print media products that includes a popular local radio station –
Radio Life & Style 88FM– as well as the glossy Life & Style Magazine and
The L & S Edit - a fortnightly digital newsletter.
​
Our radio station and digital products are given extended digital reach through our dedicated smartphone apps for both Android and iOS devices, putting the power of Life & Style in our audience’s pocket. On air, online or in print –
the Life & Style Media brand clearly has the KZN North Coast covered.
