Hey! Are you’re an early stage start-up or an SME with turnover between R2m-R25 Million?
You Need A Marketing Partner You Can Trust.
Hi! I’m Dane. Your Marketing Partner.
Let’s be honest. Big Agencies charge an arm and a leg and the smaller guys take your money and run. Worse still is that they don’t understand your business intimately and see you as just a billable item!
What if there was someone who get’s you (I mean really get’s you), with over 13 years experience working with big brands all over the country.
You may get the best service you’ve ever had and value for money that will make your accountant and significant other jump for joy.
I’ve played in the big leagues so you're in good hands.

Who i Work With & the Problems I Solve
If This Is You, We Should Talk!
You’re building something real.
You have revenue or projections. You have traction. But you didn’t get here by accident — you got here because you’re smart, you’re hardworking, and you know your craft. But marketing feels like it’s not your thing.
You’re juggling it alongside everything else. You’ve hired pieces — a designer, a social person, a copywriter — hoping they’d work together. They haven’t. Nothing connects. Your positioning is unclear. You’re competing on price when you shouldn’t be. And you’re tired of it.
You need someone who understands your business deeply. Someone you can trust to own the entire marketing system. That’s what I do. I partner with you. I understand your world. I execute the work. I own the results.
ABOUT ME
Big Agency Thinking | Small Town Heart
I’ve worked inside big brands. Tiger Brands. Style Fashion. Retailability. I know how real strategy gets built. I know what moves the needle.
But I’m not a big agency. No layers. No junior staff. No bureaucracy. No disappearing after the initial strategy.
I’m you. I understand the pressure. The cash flow reality. The fact that every rand counts. The pressure to grow but the fear of wasting money. I’ve been there.
What that means for you:
- You get big brand thinking applied to your real situation
- You get someone who understands your constraints
- You get direct access — me, not a junior person
- You get someone who’s embedded in your business, not checking in quarterly
- You get reliability — I show up, I deliver, I own the results

This Is How We Work Together
Most agencies promise strategy but deliver tactics. Most consultants promise results but disappear after the initial plan. I do both strategy and execution — and I’m embedded in your business to make sure it actually works.
Here’s how we partner together.
Week 1: I Listen
Discovery call. You tell me about your business, your challenges, your goals. I ask real questions. I get to know how you think, what matters to you, what keeps you awake.
Week 2: I Launch
Positioning strategy in writing. Your website goes live. Social media posts start. Systems are in motion. You’re not waiting — things are happening.
Weeks 3-6: I Execute
I’m working. Website optimization. Social posts going out. Email sequences running. Paid media testing. I’m adjusting based on what works. You get weekly check-ins. Mid-month reports. No surprises.
In-Person: I'm Embedded
I visit your business regularly. I see how you operate. I understand your team, your customers, your reality. This isn’t a virtual relationship — I’m in your world.
Month 6: We Reassess
What’s working? What’s changed? What needs to evolve? We adapt. Your strategy isn’t static because your business isn’t static.

Stop Buying Tactics. Start Building Systems.
The exciting propsect of growth makes most businesses jump straight to tactics — “We need a website,” “We need social media,” “We need ads” — before building the system that makes them actually work.
I structure marketing across three areas: strategy, creative, and digital execution. When they’re aligned, marketing becomes clear, consistent, and effective. When they’re not, you end up spending on activity that doesn’t compound.

I Meet You Where You Are
It would be easy to put a few packages together and hope you pick the one with the biggest margin for me. But that’s not how I work, nor is it what I do. Each package is carefully crafted to meet you where you are in business and not force you into something that may not suit the stage you’re in. But if you feel like you need something else, I am happy to chat around that.
I primarily work on retainers because sustained, strategic work drives real growth. But I’m also open to adhoc projects for businesses that need specific work without a full partnership.
All retainers include a 6-month minimum commitment.

GROWTH TALK
Real Conversations. Real Lessons.
I interview founders, marketers, and business leaders who are actually building things in South Africa. Not influencers. Not theorists. People who are in the trenches.
We talk about what works, what fails, and why. Positioning. Strategy. Sales alignment. Customer experience. The stuff that actually moves the needle.
If you want to stop guessing and start learning from people who’ve already figured it out, listen.

Some Frequently Asked Questions
Some answers to regular questions. If you have a question that is not covered. Please feel free to fill out the form and I will get back to you.
Every engagement starts with a discovery call to understand your goals, challenges, market context, and business priorities. From there, I design a tailored approach — whether that’s a once-off project, a phased strategy, or an ongoing retainer. Nothing is templated. Everything is built around your specific situation.
Yes. Some of my most impactful work has been with businesses building from scratch. Getting strategy, positioning, and digital foundations right from the beginning saves significant time, money, and frustration down the line. I offer specific bundle packages designed for businesses at the start-up stage.
My primary focus is the South African market — because local consumer behaviour, cultural nuance, and commercial context are central to how I work. That said, I do take on select international engagements where the brief is aligned with my areas of expertise. Reach out and let’s discuss.
My background spans FMCG, retail, business development, SME growth, and entrepreneurial environments. I work across industries because the fundamentals of brand strategy, messaging, and digital execution apply broadly. What matters more than industry is whether your business has a genuine desire to grow with clarity and structure.
This depends on the service. Once-off projects such as website builds, brand strategy, and copywriting have no minimum beyond the project itself. Monthly services such as social media management and paid media require a minimum 3-month commitment to allow enough time to build, test, and optimise effectively.
Timelines vary by scope. A dynamic website typically takes 3–5 days. A full brand strategy framework takes 3–4 weeks. A complete brand system with strategy, identity, and website can take 6–10 weeks. All timelines are confirmed during the discovery call and built into the project agreement.
