Where we're strongest

Specialists in premium, high-value categories

Since 1989 under the same leadership. That’s thirty-seven years of working with brands where the Product is premium and the Target Market elusive. The creative has to match.

Sound familiar?

FOUR REASONS why companies change agencies?

If one of these is costing you, it's worth a conversation, even if you're not ready to move.

  1. Slow delivery

    Usually because your agency’s biggest client is in the FMCG business. Their best talent is allocated there. AdMakers handles NO FMCG clients. We are a fast, highly maneuverable strike craft, not a ponderous, fuel-burning battleship!

  2. Weak accountability

    You have no access to agency founders/directors. No named senior contacts, no proper strategy, no agreed measures upfront and no meaningful interpretation/reporting to present to the board.

    Talk to AdMakers on Founder level.

  3. Disconnected suppliers

    Agency sub-contracts to third parties, which results in blame-shifting.

    AdMakers has Strategy, Creative, Production, Digital, Film, Web and media under one roof - speaking with one voice.

  4. Creative output to win awards - not sell your product.

    Most agencies chase awards - not sales.

    AdMakers is different. We chase your success - ours only come when you are successful.

How the relationship works

Senior attention, no surprises

  1. A named senior contact

    Your account is led by a senior partner, not handed down after the pitch.

  2. A dedicated delivery team

    Strategy, Creative, Digital, CGI, Web and Media specialists under one roof.

  3. Shared working day

    Same time zone as Europe, so reviews and approvals happen live. Evening shifts for Australian, USA and Chinese clients.

  4. Clear reporting & approvals

    Agreed measures, defined sign-off points, nothing goes live unseen.

An easier starting point

You don't have to move everything at once.

  • A defined project

    Fixed scope, budget and timeline

    e.g. launch
  • A one-market campaign

    Test us in a single market first

    e.g. UK
  • A specialist assignment

    What your agency can't do in-house

    e.g. CGI, film
  • Full agency appointment

    One integrated account

    Partnership

The commercial upside: international-standard work from a South African base, often at a more attractive cost than an equivalent global agency.
