CEO @ The Graygency | Where Brand & Performance Marketing Meet

It’s only possible for brands to scale their performance marketing in one of two situations.

1. When they understand and can quantify the commercial and strategic impact it has on their business.

2. When they have a tonne of somebody else’s money to spend in the hope of stumbling across something along the way that works. 

In the current landscape, in-platform ROAS numbers alone are NOT ENOUGH to protect your marketing budget.

Performance marketing as you knew it has changed.

Now the thought of answering questions in the weekly trading meeting probably makes you sweat. 

Don’t even mention attribution. 

Everyday, it feels like your competitors are performing better.

Because your Paid Media Strategy is WEAK.

As a result, you’re wasting hundreds of thousands on paid-media and developing content without understanding the impact it has on brand building activity or your bottom line. 

It’s time to break free from this cycle of uncertainty.

Now, imagine having an agency partner that not only cuts through the data for you, but also explains the marketing science behind it. 

Delivering measurable commercial outcomes. 

Your business experiences growth.

Making marketing and trading meetings a breeze.

Instead of being grilled on how much you’re spending, you’re now asked what other initiatives can we look at?

How do we allocate more resources, and what positions do you need to hire? 

This is your chance to implement YOUR VISION and move the business forward.

You’re probably wondering, ‘How do we reach that stage?’ 

That’s where we come in.

When you partner with us, you’ll receive:

Graphic Designer

Mid-senior level 2D Animation designer & Illustrator | 3+ years experience in Adobe After Effects, Premiere Pro, Photoshop & Illustrator

I was born and raised in Gauteng, South Africa with a pencil in my hand. Growing up, I was fascinated by the process of creating fantastical illustrations and designs that evoke either an emotional or inspirational impact. 

In my profession, I consider myself an Illustrator and an Animation Designer. I strive to improve my Frame-by-Frame (Cel) animation skills, combining them with motion graphics as I understand the power and speed these two crafts have together. In addition to being strong in my own style, I can execute different types according to the task at hand. In my work, I strive for high quality and branding preferences whenever I create digital artwork or vector designs.

During my free time, I like to take inspiration from my surroundings and write music with the idea of combining it with my creative projects.
