These awards recognise companies that have shown exceptional expertise in innovative product development, encouraging companies to invest in research and development and push for technological advancements that can drive the continent's economic growth.

“We are thrilled to be named among the finalists for this award, especially given the company that we find ourselves in. Being recognised at this level reaffirms the strength of our approach and of being a little different in terms of our strategies and thinking,” he says.

We like to be digital frontrunners, having truly blended technological expertise with marketing know-how. We go all-out to provide state-of-the-art solutions that drive digital transformation, and this nod truly validates our hard work and innovation-first philosophy."

With a range of services that cater to different sectors, it is quickly becoming the go-to provider for companies looking to fully marry and integrate innovative technology with results-driven digital marketing.

"Our team is made up of the industry’s best creative and technical talent, as well as strategists and ideation developers who aren’t afraid to push the limits and think big. We’re not just about developing solutions, but we’re also about solving problems creatively – which is something that I believe has set us apart from other technology and marketing companies,” says Magondo.

“We make sure we take the time to understand each client's specific needs and provide tailored solutions to meet those needs. Receiving this type of recognition will continue to inspire us to provide solutions that are cognisant of the African context and local needs, and delight audiences even while driving measurable results for businesses.
