Working with Cape Town brands
Cape Town has the largest creative market in South Africa and the most competition for it. Many of the agencies are excellent — and many are also priced and structured for clients several sizes larger than the average growing business needs. The middle ground, where a serious creative partner is available without the overhead, is harder to find than it should be.
That's the space we operate in. We work with Cape Town businesses in tech, hospitality, professional services, wine and lifestyle — brands big enough to need a strategic creative partner but small enough to want the senior team in the room, not behind layers of account management.
The studio sits in the Garden Route, four hours' drive from Cape Town. For most projects this changes nothing — the work happens over weekly written updates and live design reviews. For projects that need on-site presence (workshops, shoots, kickoffs), we travel.

How remote work runs
For Cape Town clients, the rhythm is: kickoff workshop (often in person, sometimes on Zoom), weekly check-ins, async Loom and Figma reviews mid-week, milestone presentations with the decision-maker, on-site visits for the moments that need it. Most of our Cape Town clients see us in person two to four times across a project.
Time-zone is irrelevant (we're the same), bandwidth is fine, and the work has never suffered from the geographic distance. If anything, the slower-cadence remote rhythm tends to produce sharper work than the always-on agency hustle that Cape Town's busier studios run on.
