We’re A Top 1% Digital Marketing Agency That Has Built 80+ 8-Figure Brands (Including Our Own)
Every marketing agency says they're the best, but few have the proof to back it up.
So here's ours…
We don't just run ads for clients.
We started two of our own brands from scratch, and put our own money behind the marketing.
Today both brands do over R200 million a year combined.
Running our own brands means we know what a business owner is really up against: stock, cash flow, and ad costs eating your margin.
It's the same thinking that has made our clients close to R3 billion in sales in the last few years, and taken 80+ clients past R10 million in revenue.
We're not perfect.
We've broken plenty of campaigns, and that's how we learned what works.
So when results dip, we don't blame the algorithm or the economy.
We own it and fix it.
Because only one thing counts: more revenue and more profit for your business.

There's nothing I can say that hasn't already been said by other reviewers, so "ditto". A pro-active, organised, no-BS team and approach to what they do, with a laser focus on getting sales results. No other frills and upsells - just pure, value-adding online sales marketing that works. Worth the initial investment - we're approaching 3 months now and the media budget and agency fees already pay for itself, with a strong growth trajectory going forward.
Most Agencies Show You Likes And Clicks, But We Judge Every Ad On The Profit It Makes
You're spending money on ads, but your profit isn't growing.
Your agency sends a report full of likes and clicks.
But it never shows you how much profit your ads made.
That's why we judge every rand you spend on ads by how much profit it brings back.
The three main numbers we measure
- NCACNew Cost of Acquiring a CustomerWhat it costs to win one new customer.
- LTPLifetime ProfitHow much profit that customer makes you over time, not just the first time they buy.
- POASProfit On Ad SpendHow much profit comes back for every R1 you spend on ads.
If those numbers don't make you money, we change the strategy, not the report.

If Your Ad Results Don’t Improve In 90 Days, We’ll Work For Free Until They Do
Most agencies get paid every month, whether your ads make you money or not.
So you carry all the risk.
We share it with you.
Here's our promise:
Our 90-day promise
If your ROAS doesn't go up, or your cost per lead or sale doesn't come down, within 90 days, we'll work for free until they do.
ROAS is the sales you get back for every R1 you spend on ads.
We use it here because every business can measure it from day one.
- You need to have spent at least R30,000 on ads in the last 3 months, so we have real numbers to compare against.
- We compare normal months.Specials, discounts and Black Friday deals are left out.
- Working for free means we don't charge our monthly fee.You still pay for the ads themselves.
Only 1 in 10
businesses that enquire get taken on
If we don't get you results, you're obviously not going to continue paying our fees.
That said, we only work with brands whose products are actually good, whose margins are healthy, and with business owners who are ready and hungry to grow.
If we don't think we can help, we'll tell you honestly on the free call.

My V8 Media journey is almost one year old and it’s been one amazing high, from the very first call, onboarding and then starting to work with my team, Marilly, Thomas and Daine. They have taken the time to get to know the business and us. They’re on the ball with ideas, suggestions and every call with them is one I look forward to. There are no empty promises, campaigns are planned and launched without hick-ups and they constantly monitor and tweak for changes. Much more than I ever expected them to do! They looked after our accounts over the holidays and there was always someone available to handle anything that might pop-up. If you’re hunting for an agency that puts in the work and that will help grow your business then don’t look any further. They’re a true extension of your business and takes away a lot of the stresses and tasks that gets you back to focussing on your customers. You’re in great hands!
Most Agencies Say Yes To Logos And Daily Posts, But We Only Run The Ads, Funnels And Emails That Bring You Sales And Enquiries
Most agencies say yes to everything: logos, daily Instagram posts, TikTok trends.
Then they learn how to do it while you pay for it.
We don't.
If you need a logo, hire a designer.
If you need daily posts, hire a social media manager.
Here's what we do:
Facebook & Instagram adsShown to the people most likely to buy
Google adsSeen by people already searching for what you sell
TikTok adsShort videos in front of people who have never heard of you
Ad creativesThe pictures, videos and words in your ads
UGC videosReal people on camera using your product, made to run as ads
FunnelsPages that turn the click into a sale or an enquiry
EmailsBring customers back to buy again
Lead nurturing automationsAutomatic messages that follow up every enquiry, so none go cold
Each one helps on its own.
But the results come from how they work together: the ad brings the click, the funnel turns it into a sale or enquiry, and the emails and follow-ups bring them back.
You get your own dedicated advertising strategist, backed by a team of 40 across South Africa, with our head office in Johannesburg.
We work with online stores and local businesses in South Africa and around the world.

V8 is by far the most professional digital marketing company I have ever worked with. They take the time to understand your target market and understands their needs. They take full control of your digital media needs so you don’t have to worry about that and they have increased our ROI drastically. I firmly believe they are the best digital marketing company in South Africa! I would highly recommend them.
I Ran My First Business Into The Ground Before I Learned How To Grow One
I started my first business, Fitness 101, when I was 22.
In 2013 I sold part of it, and then I ran the rest into the ground.
I went on to grow CHROME Supplements from R30 million to R100 million as their marketing director.
In 2018 I started V8 Media, and I know what it feels like to put everything into a business and not know if it will work.
Every business owner who fills in our form is in that same spot, and we never forget it.
Read my full story →Our Fees Start At R10,990 A Month, And You Can Cancel Any Time After 90 Days
Who do you work with?
Online stores and local businesses that already have customers buying from them, and make enough profit on each sale to pay for ads.
If we don't think we can help, we'll tell you honestly on the free call, and we won't take your money.
How much does it cost?
Our fee starts at R10,990 a month, plus the money you spend on ads.
We'll tell you your exact fee on the free call, before you commit to anything.
Do I have to sign a long contract?
No.
You sign a 90-day agreement, because it takes time to test your ads and improve them.
After 90 days, you can cancel any time.
How fast can my ads go live?
About two weeks after you say yes, so your ads can run the same month.
Do you guarantee results?
Yes, with conditions.
If your ROAS doesn't go up, or your cost per lead or sale doesn't come down, within 90 days, we'll work for free until they do, which means we don't charge our monthly fee.
You need to have spent at least R30,000 on ads in the last 3 months, and specials, discounts and Black Friday deals are left out of the comparison.
You still pay for the ads themselves.
Who will work on my account?
Your own dedicated advertising strategist, backed by a team of 40 across South Africa.
Our head office is in Johannesburg.
Do you work with businesses outside South Africa?
Yes.
We take on clients worldwide.
What don't you do?
Logos, branding and daily social media posts.
We focus on the ads, videos, funnels, emails and follow-ups that bring in sales and enquiries.

I can't thank Jandre and his team at V8 enough!!! The team have single handedly transformed our business at Kuraflo, fantastic results with social media implementation and execution. Gilbert & Malissa have patiently guided and educated us, devoting huge amounts of time and effort to our cause, taking time to understand our product, pain points and audience with great results. We are very grateful.
