Marc Jury will be leveraging decades of leadership experience in the sports, media and broadcasting industries in his new role as CEO.

South African-based sports marketing agency, Megapro, has announced the appointment of former SuperSport CEO, Marc Jury, as group CEO. The appointment is effective from 1 September 2025. 

 

According to a press statement, Jury has committed to a “significant equity investment” in Megapro, which will culminate in him “becoming the majority shareholder in due course”.

Megapro describes itself as a “leading sport marketing agency dedicated to the commercialisation of sport in South Africa” and is involved in sponsorship sales, rights commercialisation, in-stadium advertising, sports hospitality and event management services. 

 

Two decades of leadership experience 

 

Jury has over two decades of leadership experience in the sports, media and broadcasting industries. Apart from his almost eight-year tenure at SuperSport, where he also held the position of Head – Acquisitions and Marketing, he has also been CEO of MultiChoice South Africa and Showmax. 

 

“Marc’s industry gravitas, vision and deep connections within local and international markets position him exceptionally well to spearhead Megapro’s next chapter,” says Rautenbach. 

 

“His proven track record of creating value in today’s evolving sports ecosystem will be invaluable as Megapro continues to expand its footprint.” 

 

The press statement says Rautenbach, together with the Dabengwa and Lategan families, will remain actively engaged shareholders, supporting the company’s ongoing success and leadership continuity. 

 

“This leadership handover marks a pivotal moment for Megapro as it embarks on a future of innovation and sustained growth under Jury’s stewardship,” the statement adds.
