- Are you an agency or an in-house team for hire?
- Both, depending on the engagement. We work as a conventional digital agency on campaign, creative and platform work, and we embed senior team members in client organisations on longer engagements that need owned outcomes rather than billable hours. The shape of the contract follows the shape of the work, not the other way around.
- Which industries do you work with?
- Financial services, telco, retail, media and insurance are the categories where the team has the deepest scar tissue. We do not work in tobacco, gambling or industries we cannot defend in a press release. We are particularly experienced with brands whose customer base lives in South Africa, the rest of sub-Saharan Africa, and the South African diaspora.
- Do you take on retainer or project work?
- Both. Retainers are the right shape for ongoing platform operations, content programmes and always-on campaigns. Project work is the right shape for new builds, brand launches, campaign sprints and platform implementations. We are happy to start on a project and convert to retainer once the rhythm is established, or to start on retainer and graduate to platform ownership inside Xanite or Persaic.
- How quickly can you start?
- On a standard scope, the brief is signed in week one, the team is in the room in week two, and the first deliverable lands in week three or four. For platform implementations the timeline is longer. For an existing client adding a discipline, work usually starts within the same week.
- Do you work outside South Africa?
- Yes. The team is South African by base but the work is regional. We have shipped projects across the SADC region, the Middle East and the UK. South African time zone, English-speaking, and we travel for the work that requires it.
