Learn moreHow we work
Here’s what working with Juicy Designs on social media marketing for your South African business looks like from day one.
We audit your existing channels, study your audience, and analyse your competitors across the South African market. We identify which platforms deserve your time and where the fastest wins are.
Week 1-2We present a documented social media strategy, content pillars, and a monthly content calendar. Goals, KPIs, and posting cadence are agreed upfront so everyone knows what success looks like.
Week 2-3Our team creates the graphics, video, and copy, then schedules and publishes across your channels. Community management starts immediately so every comment and message gets a fast, on-brand reply.
Month 1 onwardWhere paid social is part of your plan, we launch and optimise Meta and TikTok campaigns. Top organic content is amplified, audiences are refined, and budget is steered toward the best-performing creative.
OngoingMonthly performance reports with plain-language insights. Growth, engagement, leads, and sales tracked. We keep refining content and targeting until your social channels deliver real business results.
What makes us different
Strategy-led social. Founder involvement on every account. No reporting fluff and no lock-in. Real reach, real engagement, real revenue.
We understand how South Africans actually use social. Data costs influence video length and format. Local culture, language, and moments shape what resonates. We build social strategies that account for South African audience behaviour and the platforms that matter here, then deliver them nationally from our Pretoria studio.
Juicy Designs is a Meta Business Partner through our co-founder Wynand, giving us direct platform support and early access to new ad features. We run organic content and paid social as one integrated service, so your community building and your ad spend reinforce each other. That combination is how South African brands get the most from every rand they put into social.
South African business owners don’t need a 40-page report filled with metrics they can’t act on. Every monthly report covers three things: what moved, why it moved, and what we’re doing next. Founders Cobus and Wynand are directly involved in strategy, and every package is month-to-month, so we earn your business again every single month.

We manage Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn, YouTube, and X for South African businesses. We recommend platforms based on where your audience actually spends time rather than trying to be everywhere at once. As a Meta Business Partner, Facebook and Instagram (organic and paid) are a particular strength, and we run paid campaigns across Meta, TikTok, and LinkedIn.
Yes. We run organic social media management (strategy, content creation, scheduling, community management) and paid social advertising (Meta ads, TikTok ads, LinkedIn ads) as one integrated service. Organic builds brand and trust over time while paid social drives reach, leads, and sales quickly. Combining the two is how South African businesses get the best return on their social media investment.
Yes. All our social media marketing packages are month-to-month with no lock-in contracts. We keep clients by delivering results, not by trapping them in long agreements. You can scale up, scale down, or pause with notice. We have worked this way since 2015 and it keeps us accountable every single month.
We create it. Our in-house team produces graphics, short-form video, reels, captions, and on-brand UGC-style content for your channels. You are welcome to share product photos, raw footage, or brand assets, but you are never expected to supply finished posts. Content creation and a monthly content calendar are included in every management package.
Client results
Retail, services, and e-commerce brands that chose social media as their growth channel.
“We had no real social presence before Juicy Designs. Within five months our Instagram following had tripled, our engagement was up massively, and we were getting orders directly from our posts and stories. The content they produce looks like a national brand made it. Best marketing decision we have made.”
“We had tried running our own Facebook and Instagram ads and were burning budget with little to show for it. Juicy Designs rebuilt our targeting, creative, and tracking from scratch. Six months in we are getting 73% more qualified leads from paid social at a lower cost per lead, and we finally understand exactly what our ad spend is doing.”
“We’re an e-commerce brand shipping across South Africa and social is our biggest channel. Juicy Designs combined a sharp content calendar with influencer and UGC campaigns and a proper paid social engine. Eight months in, sales attributed to social are up 140% and social now drives more than a third of our online revenue.”
