About
A small team that runs ad accounts like it is our money.
Hero Digital is a South African digital agency. We started in web, film and social, built and ran e-commerce stores for our clients, and found that the thing that actually moved their revenue was paid advertising done properly. So that is the business now.

What we do. We manage Meta, Google and OpenAI ad accounts end to end for brands that sell online or generate leads, from R12,000 a month plus the client’s own ad spend. We add newsletters, WhatsApp broadcasts and brand activations when they make the ads more profitable, and we still build websites, apps and brand identities when a client asks.
How we work. Tracking first, because a platform cannot optimise what it cannot see. Feed second, because a wrong price or a missing variant wastes more money than a bad headline. Creative weekly, because the platform is only as good as what you feed it. Budget in steps, only when the last step held its return. One short report a week that an owner can read in two minutes.
What we are not. Not a full-service agency with a department for everything. Not a percentage-of-spend shop that earns more when you spend more. Not the people who send a 40-page deck to explain a bad month.
Who we work with. Skincare, fashion, supplements, furniture, jewellery, pets, coffee, wine, pharmacy, salons, schools, hospitality, solar and B2B wholesale. See the seventeen case studies and the reviews. Brands stay anonymous because their competitors read this site too.
Where. South Africa, serving clients in Cape Town, Johannesburg, Durban and Pretoria, and internationally in the UK, US and Europe. Email info@herodigital.co.za.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Who will actually run my account?
The senior team you meet on the first call. We do not hand accounts to juniors after the sale.
How many clients do you take on?
As many as we can run properly, which is not many. The application form filters for budget so our time goes to accounts that can scale.

Four questions, two minutes. If we are not a fit the form tells you before anyone’s time is spent. From R12,000 a month plus your ad spend.
