Tarryn Knight | Head of Marketing, PR and Product | Audi South Africa
"Audi South Africa has worked with Fierce since 2021, and our experience has been excellent. Fierce's analytics-led approach to effective creative solutions has been invaluable. Fierce leads Audi’s social media and content strategy, creative production including photography, videography and motion graphics, and manages the brand's social platforms with insightful data analysis. I highly recommend Fierce for enhancing digital presence and achieving outstanding marketing results."
Russell Petrie | Head of Capitec Design Studio
"Fierce Global played an integral role in Capitec’s 2023 brand refresh, working alongside Promise in driving the creative strategy and visual design in partnership with our wider internal team. Their creativity, collaboration, adaptability, and can-do attitude made them a pleasure to work with. Our partnership felt more like a joint pursuit of creative excellence than a traditional client-supplier dynamic. I'd happily work with Fierce again and recommend them for any future collaborations."
Thomas Schaper | Head of Product | DACK | Los Angeles, USA
"Fierce's team stood out among other agencies with their design innovation, timely communication and responsiveness, exacting deliverables, clear schedules with on-time delivery, fair and affordable pricing, and overall professional project management."
Clint Hess | Head: Marketing | Santam
As South Africa’s leading short-term insurer, Santam is rapidly adapting in a competitive environment. As a business, we look to partner with “best of breed” specialists, and worked closely with Luminate (a wholly owned Fierce company) to evaluate Santam’s content marketing effectiveness through in depth data-analysis of multiple campaigns. Luminate’s expertise ultimately delivered an actionable report which uncovered multiple insights and learnings”
Greg Commins | Co-Founder & CEO | Three Sages & Sunday Drive | California, USA
"Fierce was tasked with creating a pitch reel for my wellness tech startup, and their creative support played a crucial role in helping me achieve my target on a crowdfunding platform. Dave and his team at Fierce were incredible to work with, demonstrating professionalism and creativity every step of the way. I highly recommend them!"
Statement of Work: Fierce’s wholly owned subsidiary, Luminate—a digital advisory specialising in analytics—conducted a digital audit and provided strategic recommendations to the Two Oceans Aquarium.
Fhumulani Mothale | Digital Marketing Manager | Volkswagen Group Africa
"Fierce has been my preferred choice for years due to its unparalleled expertise in managing end-to-end digital campaigns. They have consistently excelled in addressing challenges and crafting compelling content. Their personalised service, agility, and creativity stand out. The team's professionalism and commitment to deadlines bring ease to projects. I highly recommend Fierce for its continuous digital and social expertise in this ever-changing landscape."

Driving Local Relevance with Fierce
Challenge:

Solution:
Fierce crafted a hybrid service model, blending a dedicated strategic and account team with our open-architecture network of Fierce-managed creative talent.
Impact:
Using an analytics-led approach with our product “Luminate”, we continually measure our creative effectiveness, ensuring ongoing improvement.
