OUR SERVICES

  • I could not be happier to be working with the Bigger Than Me team on shaping and amplifying Jakes Gerwel Fellowshipvoice. Over the last few weeks, Greg Viljoen, Candice Burgess-Look and their teams have plugged right into the essence of what JGF does and crafted a narrative for our story that gets to the core of our work. This exposure has also opened up new networks for JGF to connect into, ones that we know will continue to feed into reaching more teachers to offer them support in their early-career professional development. This collaboration has shown me the immense value of working with people who get it. And I can't wait to see what we bring to life next.

    Through the WE!ARE Campaign, we hope to make the climate justice conversation simpler, more impactful, more African. Changing the narrative about development on the continent is the first step to seeing lasting change that authentically tells the African story. We are delighted to be working with BTM on audacious work. Together, we hope to broaden the voices included in the conversation and build a truly pan-African campaign.

    I am very grateful that our path crossed with Bigger Than Me. They understood our business and our sense of urgency to get things done, always being the voice of reason and consummate professionals not to overextend – less is definitely more. Their experience and expertise has been invaluable to us as a small team wanting big things and they did not disappoint! The results we have achieved in laying the foundations for our digital marketing capabilities has been exciting and we are poised to leverage the outstanding work done in the following financial year. Our brand is certainly in a better position than last year and we only have BTM to thank for that! Thanks once again Brett for being you and allowing me the space to work with you and your team over the past 7 months. Marketing is not a skill I possessed when we started this journey together, so thank you and your team for the patience it took to keep on the same page. Thankfully it all paid off and I believe that I am more knowledgeable about digital marketing dynamics than I ever was. I would like to convey to every single member of your team my sincerest gratitude for the commitment and hard work (and most likely family sacrifices) they have made to breathe new life into the World Vision South Africa brand over the last 7 months. We achieved much in a difficult covid time and under challenging internal operational circumstances. Despite all of that, we are back on the map on a national level. A job well done!! Huge thank you!

    We are ecstatic to be working with this purpose led team, and together we can work on social change. This campaign aims to educate and raise awareness with the public, that by correctly securing their child in a car or booster seat, whilst traveling in a vehicle, can make the difference between life or death.

    We have been working with Greg and his Bigger Than Me team for a few years now and having them as a social media agency has been phenomenal. They offer excellent strategic direction, social media & brand expertize. This element of our charity is crucial as the majority of brand engagement is now done via social media platforms.
