BRANDING
How are you going to pass a message through to your customer without striking, professional branding?
Unfortunately in this age, any business or side hustle operating without the appropriate branding comes across as unreliable and unprofessional.
Because designing a brand needs know how, we can take all your ideas to come up with a brand logo and brand look & feel that expresses the goal of your product or service in it’s entirety!
Once we’ve done that, we can assist in printing your brand on
gifts, vehicles, digital signs and more.
SOCIAL MEDIA START UPS, MANAGEMENT & ADS
When you’ve got zero time to handle your business’s socials or maybe you have no idea how to execute your ideas, we can smash the copy, design the artwork for every post or ad you could possible dream of.
Also: Meta Business suite? We got you.
Meta Ads? We got you. Analytics? We got you.
EMAIL MARKETING START UPS & MANAGEMENT
Email has proven to be the most effective way for ROI. Why? Because there’s no blockages between you and your client; for example social media algorithms. Email marketing is the most uncostly way to get your product in front of your client fast! However, with POPIA it’s more difficult for any business to get valuable sign ups and turn into sales. Not to mention how time consuming database management can be.
That’s exactly where we have little tricks to increase your database sign ups substantially.
DIGITAL & PRINTED ADVERTISING
Whether it’s digital or printed ads, advertising is still the biggest ROI tool to date!
Video ads, website banners, social media ads, In app adverts, flyers, pamphlets, brochures, magazines.. there’s just so many ways to get your name out there. However, paid advertising on any platform is super costly, so luckily our designs are not!
GRAPHIC DESIGN
With about 8 years experience, we’re probably more passionate about graphic design than we are marketing. Graphic Design is how people connect with you, your brand and your products.
If there’s anything we’ve learnt, it’s that visually appealing graphics can make the smallest side hustler out there look like they’ve been doing ti for years! People impulsively buy products purely because hey related with how it was portrayed to them.
We have experience in social media graphics, email marketing graphics, catalogues, flyers, adverts, online banners and much, much more!
MERCH & CORPORATE GIFTING
We’ll not only design your merch or corporate gifting graphics, we can put it on just about anything!
Like:
Clothing, phone covers, power banks, stickers, lanyards, key rings, water bottles, notebooks and so much more!
We understand how costly it is to give out free stuff, so if you decide to use shmaak it marketing for your merch or swag, expenditure becomes a little more easy to swallow!
CVs, Introductions Videos & Landing Pages
In the recruitment world, it takes a lot for a candidate to stand out from the crowd. Basic MS Word CVs just don’t cut it anymore and no wonder recruiters get bored of look at CVs.
