Our Philosophy

Every agency is driven by a belief system that makes the work reach a certain threshold of impact.

Some people refer to the two sides of marketing as art & science but we prefer the terms: magic & logic. The term magic works for us as it is about creating an experience, an interaction that is able to establish some form of emotional connection. But logic, on the other hand, is increasingly important to a brand as it strives to be consistent and successful in delivering to the needs and expectations of its customers at every point of interaction.

Every brand wants to be seen as creative; possessing the magic that resonates with all its audiences to establish meaningful connections. Similarly, marketing is a logical business element that – when done right – yield great results for businesses and their customers. This means we require both the art and the science of marketing to have impactful results in our approach to briefs…

The perfect brew of logic + magic!

OUR BREWING SPECIALITIES

Icons-Strategy
Strategy, Branding & Comms

The team at 85 unequivocally believes that strategy is the foundation of any brand-building – and marketing – efforts.

Icons-Creative
Creative Concept & Execution

Every brand wants to show up creatively in a way that resonates with its intended audience. For this, the concept must be magical.

Icons-Digital Marketing
Digital Marketing

Today, one simply cannot imagine any marketing efforts without the use of digital – the future is now!

Icons-Activation
Activations / Experiential

Experiential marketing provides a much-needed alternative approach. It gives consumers what they want while allowing brands to make a lasting impression that strengthens customer loyalty and brand recognition.

Icons-Website
Web Services

A picture is a dossier of evidence that you were at a certain place for a certain experience. I mean, did you really experience it if there are no pictures to prove that? Similar to a business today; are you really a legit business without a website?

Icons-PR
Public Relations

In a world of cancel culture and political correctness, it has never been more important to have a good name. Any brand can move from positive to negative over a single article, a publication, an interview…even a tweet!

“Eightyfive is Sakhumnotho’s brainchild. Initially known as ‘SGH Media’, it is an extension of our strategic and effective contribution to the advertising landscape. As an agency, we’ve done amazing work in the past few years and we’re excited about this new chapter. I have full confidence that the 85 team will bring a fresh take on what’s become table stakes in the industry.”
