Strategy rooted
in culture,
built for growth.

DK brought sharp thinking and a deep understanding of human behaviour to our work, helping us step back and properly interrogate how the brand should live, stretch, and connect. What stood out was his ability to challenge assumptions, and shape a clear long-term vision without losing sight of how the brand would actually be used in the real world.

Minke Egling

Creative Strategy Lead, innocent

A critical thinker with a unique point of view, he showed me the power of strategically applied creativity by interrogating, challenging and solving his clients' business problems in the most constructive of ways. He lives by the principle that a big idea is only truly 'big' and effective, if it's rooted in a human and societal truth.

Stu Gormley

Digital Account Director & Senior Marketing Lead

DK always managed to find relevant and interesting insights which helped drive a long term vision for the brands. His team and I enjoyed our time working with him.

Adrian Varkel

Managing Director, BBDO Cape Town

DK was always ready to provide creatives with insights and perspectives that could shape their thinking in new and exciting ways. He led his strategic department from the front, something you don't often find from leaders nowadays.

Liam Olding

His independent research skills impressed me — he delivered a very thorough analysis of the cultural opportunity which added considerable value to the overall project. A great member of any planning team!
