We craft memorable online and omnichannel experiences for clients around the world from our office in Cape Town. But, above all, we’re passionate about the work we produce, committed to working side by side with you to provide the best possible results. The PETCO project was a great collaborative experience, working with 3 agencies in total to ensure the clients requirements came together. We were privileged to be approached by Fat Bastard to handle the design and development of their first local website. Not only was it a challenge to create a digital online presence that echoed their brand, but to make this masterpiece with its very own South African flare really made it all worth while. When Just Legal Consultants approached us, they came with a simple desire for us to achieve, to avoid the dull reputation that most legal brands leave behind. We wanted to concentrate on both a simplistic and visually approachable identity. We were approached by a local gas company, seeking an online brand presence and the need to remove the somewhat boring stigma, that is associated to the LPG gas trade. We used Pictivate, our augmented reality platform, to display the amazing prize of a trip to Disneyland using the space around the package. City Of Cape Town’s solar water heater service provider accreditation drive is designed to make it simple, easy and quick to find the right installer. Their move towards augmented reality saw us create an augmented browsing experience for the Woolworths shopper, in their WMag. If consumers liked what they saw, they could simply tap through to the online store. Off the back of WMag’s successful Augmented Reality drive, Woolworths also asked us to create an Easter based Augmented Reality experience which spread from in-store to digital activations. From being the first person to cycle around the perimeter of Africa, to rowing across the Atlantic Ocean with his fiancé to New York, Riaan Manser is a pioneering explorer who seeks to always make a difference. Corporate branding, presentations, website interface and user experiences are only a few of the projects we’ve worked on with Riaan. To bring this emotive word to life, we built a Fridge Poetry-like game as the base of a promotion for their consumers. As part of one of the largest financial service institutions in the country, Sanlam Investments has many divisions, business units and a large array of product offerings. We used our Augmented Reality platform, Pictivate, to add an interactive layer of content to the printed material. It delivered podcasts, deeper explanations and even a competition element to the insert. Not only was it an immersive experience but the analytics showed phenomenal user engagement, especially considering that it was the first time Sanlam used Augmented Reality to engage with consumers. From custom iPad apps and implementing Augmented Reality with stat tracking to creating a custom mobile site, connected to their CMS database, that tracks sales and incentivised staff, our work for Hansgrohe has been challenging and exciting. From custom design and development of their website, with a bespoke database and CMS to manage their entire site efficiently, we’ve helped them develop their brand throughout their business. With a touch of modernity to better suit their digital presence, we transformed Paperless’s CI. From website design & development along with a complex database structure that tracks thousands of tree sales and a continuously growing tree nursery, our project for Trees-SA was challenging but extremely rewarding.
