RED Marketing, an award-winning South African digital marketing agency based in Johannesburg, has announced that it will open a London office in May 2022. At the MEA Business Awards, RED Marketing was the winner of the Best Full-Service Marketing Agency – Johannesburg in 2020 and the Best Media Content Management Agency – Johannesburg in 2021.
Founded by marketing aficionado Daniel Calbacho in 2003, RED Marketing is a results-driven digital marketing agency, providing a full range of traditional and digital marketing services. The team of strategic thinkers and innovative technologists specialise in creating industry-tailored digital marketing solutions, including strategic planning, content creation, social media management, photography, videography, community management, crisis management, web development, web design, SEO, Google AdWords, public relations, influencer relations, events and consulting.
The opening of the new branch has been established as the company’s client portfolio grows. Managing Director Daniel Calbacho says he’s particularly excited about the second office space. “We’ve all heard and used the saying ‘everything happens for a reason’, right? Well, I’d like to think of myself as a person who finds the silver lining in situations. COVID-19 made me and many others uncomfortable – and for good reason,” he explains. “The pandemic allowed our team to work remotely, which meant eventually giving up our traditional office. As a result, the team learnt how to create a new working dynamic from home – or anywhere with Internet access for that matter. Fast forward to today and the RED Marketing team is spread out all over our beautiful country, from Gauteng and the Western Cape, to the Eastern Cape and beyond.”
Daniel highlights that it was during the midst of the pandemic that he first had the thought of taking RED Marketing global. “I’ve since taken the courageous leap of faith to go across the pond to the magnetic city of London, to share our talents and passion for what we do with a broader market. This expansion will allow RED Marketing to have its finger on the pulse of global digital trends and work with a host of new clients,” he adds.
RED Marketing’s team has accumulated expert-level experience in the retail, automotive, beauty and fashion, food and beverage as well as startup industry verticals. In South Africa, the company has helped a multitude of lifestyle brands and businesses grow their brand presence and expand their network reach.These include Sandton City, Nelson Mandela Square, Eastgate, 204 Oxford (previously Thrupps Illovo Centre), Delta Central, Liberty Midlands Mall, Baywest Mall, Jaguar Land Rover, Jeep, Chanel Beauty, QMS Medicosmetics, Team Dr Joseph, BOOST! Skin Serums, Catrice, Essence, Avon, Justine, Celltone, Crabtree & Evelyn, Miniso, Europa Art, Preview – The Designer Collection, Preview Accessories (previously Folli Follie), Clarks Shoes, GUESS, Replay Jeans, Hydraulics, Leocé Luxury Couture, Trumps Grillhouse & Butchery, Ghazal North Indian Restaurant, Clenergy Kitchen and CAM Inspired Wines, to name but a few.
“I’m very proud of the RED Marketing team and am blessed to work with such skilled, hardworking individuals who I care for deeply,” Daniel concludes. “It’s time for us to expand, and we couldn’t be more ready for what lies ahead!”
