Company Description

Quick facts you need to know about LKDA – The Brave Agency.

BASED IN PRETOORS
We are a strategic design and advertising agency, based in Irene, Pretoria. Yes Pretoors! No big traffic jams and no big egos to deal with.

WE'VE BEEN CRUSHING IT FOR MORE THAN 20 YEARS.
We’ve been around the block a few times with a stable base of B2B and B2C clients and a portfolio that spans from international brands to smaller local businesses, many of which have been with the Agency for 10+ years.

WE ARE INDEPENDENT
We answer to ourselves, live by our own rules and drive our own ambitions. We have never retrenched or closed our doors for any reason and continue to get new business based on our reputation. Exciting for us and should be for you too.

EVERYONE PLAYS A KEY ROLE
With a team 25-30 multi-disciplined people servicing the complete business there is no hiding behind a desk but all hands on deck only. LKDA prides itself in employing self-starting, high-performance individuals who are experienced and add value beyond their job description.

WE DON'T LIKE TO BE LABELLED
We offer an omni-channel offering in an agency context. Basically, we offer and play a role in everything that is required for success to enhance businesses and brands: Strategy, Brand/re-brand Development, Campaigns, Comms, Digital, even the stuff clients ask for that we probably shouldn’t be doing. But then again, delivering creative solutions that work is what we’re known for and how we continue to evolve.

Be Brave. Be Bold. Never Settle!!
