Digital Marketing Agency, Nerdware, is over the moon to announce winning a monumental milestone: securing the National Growth Award and being named one of the Top 20 Winners at the 2024 South African Small Business Awards. The awards ceremony took place on 14 November 2024 at the Bryanston Country Club in Johannesburg.

The South African Small Business Awards are renowned for celebrating exceptional small businesses that embody resilience, ingenuity, and dedication—qualities that Nerdware exemplifies.

“Being recognised at the Small Business Awards is a celebration of the incredible journey we’ve undertaken as a team,” shares Ronald Magondo, Nerdware’s Co-Founder and Director of Awe-Inspiring Feats. “It’s a nod to our passion for blending creativity with data-driven strategies to deliver groundbreaking campaigns. Our amazing ‘Nerds’ pour their hearts into everything we do, and this award validates their hard work and brilliance.”

The recognition comes as Nerdware executes an ambitious expansion strategy, establishing operations in key markets across Africa and Europe. 

This includes a newly launched office in the European Union, helmed by the seasoned Slyde Nikurawu, whose leadership has been instrumental in driving Nerdware’s South African success. Meanwhile, Hayley Hillary has been appointed to oversee the South Africa market, bringing her extensive experience in integrated marketing communications and a proven track record of building successful brands. This strategic realignment underscores Nerdware’s commitment to diversity and innovation, with a strong emphasis on promoting female leadership.

“As we expand our footprint, these accolades inspire us to continue pushing boundaries and reshaping the digital marketing landscape,” adds Magondo. “We’re driven to deliver transformative solutions that create meaningful impact for clients, both locally and globally.”

Nerdware’s journey reflects the power of resilience, creativity, and visionary leadership. The recognition at the South African Small Business Awards celebrates what’s been achieved and signals even greater things to come as the business expands globally.
