Design66 — Barefoot Architecture, architectural professional, Malmesbury, Western Cape · 40 years' experience · project reach across Namibia, the Garden Route, and more recently the Swartland and West Coast (Western Cape)
Design66 had built forty years of reputation across offices in Namibia, then the Garden Route, before its recent move to Malmesbury - but its digital presence hadn't caught up. The practice's voice shifted across platforms, old location markers still pointed to those earlier offices, and none of it reflected the caliber of the work behind it. It also meant the Swartland and West Coast clients closest to Design66's new home had no easy way to find them.
A full audit across the website, Google Business Profile, LinkedIn, and Instagram, followed by one coordinated realignment rather than a series of small fixes: a single consistent name and voice everywhere, every location reference corrected to Malmesbury, and the digital presence rebuilt to match both the region Design66 now serves and the standard of the work itself.
One practice, presented at the level its forty years have earned - correctly located, consistently named, and newly visible in the local searches that matter most. The digital presence is now in line with the reputation behind it.
Working with Ohna Nel of Brand Becoming has been an absolutely transformative experience for our architectural practice. She masterfully aligned our digital presence, creating a cohesive and compelling narrative across our entire website and all our social media platforms. She delivers results that truly align and amplify.
From blending in to first choice.
An ICT Managed Service Provider - Western Cape · serving SMEs of 10-100 users, expanding nationally
Real technical strength and a genuinely uncommon offering - but no clear position, and no clear read on where the opportunities in the market sat or where the competition was strong. Nothing to make a prospective client stop and recognise this business as the right fit, rather than one of several similar-looking providers.
A structured look at where the business stood in its market found a real opportunity to stand apart. From there: a full positioning strategy, competitor analysis, and messaging built around that opportunity - shaped for the different people who actually have a say in the buying decision, not just whoever answers the phone.
A finished brand strategy - positioning, competitor insight, and messaging built for each decision-maker - that gave the team a clear, defensible answer to "why us," already put into practice rather than left as a document on a shelf. A hard-to-explain offering became a specific reason to choose them over a similar-looking competitor.
Ohna/Brand Becoming really helped us step back and properly understand where we fit in the market. The strategic roadmap she put together wasn't just high-level ideas - it was practical and grounded in real analysis. Gave us something we can actually execute on. She doesn't just deliver and disappear - she follows up and makes sure things move forward.
