A dynamic mid-sized communications agency based in Cape Town and Jo’burg, hero is always looking for strategic, effective ways to solve business problems. It’s a journey that we’re constantly travelling, hand in hand with our partners… each and every one of our clients. Working together to achieve their goals, we believe in creating relevant design and advertising that not only meets our clients’ needs, but delivers results beyond expectation.

What we do

Business problems. Nothing excites us more. Staring down the blank page with a sharp pencil in hand, we set about creating sound strategy. Combined with smart thinking and design, there’s no brief that can’t be met by an intelligent, inspired response. All it takes is an approach that is strategic, creative and integrated.

How we do it

As a full-service agency, we are able to use the best platform for the communications job – through-the-line. And at hero this means a whole lot more than logos, brochures, ads, corporate videos, direct mail… It also means a full house of advanced digital offerings, including software development and state-of-the-art mobile campaign and mobile application development capabilities.

We consider ourselves to be completely channel agnostic. Instead of limiting ourselves to certain media, we rather let the work guide us in determining the best way to reach and engage the audience you desire.

Our creative approach

Creativity. A curious, slippery, fantastic thing that we’ve got plenty of. But, even more fantastic, is the fact that we know how to use it. We know creativity for creativity’s sake is not what our clients need. Creativity for awards’ sake is not what they need either. What they need is ideas that solve real business problems. Creativity that delivers real results.

What we know

Over the past 15 plus years, hero has gained expertise in a wide variety of fields and business areas. Our knowledge and understanding of both marketing and business requirements sets us apart. The industries in which we have gained invaluable expertise include financial services, hospitality, IT, telecommunications and pharmaceuticals.
