We are Design Capital

We are DesignCapital, a Cape Town based brand development, web design and marketing agency, and a subsidiary brand of MYSME. Founded in 2014, we have helped multitudes of businesses across a broad spectrum of industries to name, brand and market themselves to their target audience and position themselves as industry leaders as a result of their new and professional brand image and message.

With many years of collective industry experience and qualifications, our team of industry professionals are well positioned to meet your requirements. One thing that we believe sets us apart is our tailored design process we have developed and implemented.

This enables you as the client to know that your requirements will be completely understood and accurately implemented and masterfully executed within agreed timelines.

How we
help your business

We become the brand and marketing arm of a business ensuring the two key pillars: ‘Brand Integrity’ and ‘Brand Awareness’ are steadily in place and remain standing over time. As such we help businesses to create appropriate, relevant, persuasive brand messages and ensure that these permeate consistently throughout all touch points of that business.

This consistent brand identity empowers a business to be more competitive and to justify possible premium pricing – as by virtue of their image, they can now be regarded as industry leaders. It also conveys integrity and respect, raising the brand to the same level as the business through perfect design.

What makes
us unique

Value For
Money

Small agencies often lack the experience of big brands. We are proud to have such experience and come from previous agencies where there was opportunity to work on national and international brands and campaigns.

This is where DesignCapital come in. We have premium brand experience but our prices are not premium but rather comfortably ‘in the middle’. Basically, heavy weights and middle weight fees.

Our Design
Process

After 22 years in the industry, the
owner of DesignCapital has teamed
up with quality management
consultants to custom design the process by which we do what we do.
What this means is that when a new
client comes on board, they can have
peace of mind knowing that they are
receiving a competitive and accurate
quotation.

As a client your needs are
comprehensively understood, their
project is expertly and masterfully
executed and is done so within the
agreed time frame. This is typically
uncommon in the design agency
world and we are proud to be
offering such a service.

The
People

Every part of the design process requires a specific skill set and as such requires a specific person. We have endeavoured to have no ‘jack of all trades’ in our business. Everybody in the team are working within their specific skill set in which they are experienced and in most cases have a formal qualification (where required).

Case and point: the designer designs and the developer develops. As obvious as that may sound, it is not always and often not the case. Very often you get developers designing, where ‘true’ design is a very unique skillset where a formal and minimal 3 year qualification is almost mandatory and not just some one ‘who knows how to work photoshop’.

Client Appreciation and Testimonies

"We are extremely impressed with their speed and efficiency on turnaround time with our projects and find them and invaluable resource on strategic implementation.

The members of Design Capital never fail to deliver a high standard of work and are easy to work with. They are an indispensable part of our company and we look forward to a long and continued relationship with them. I highly recommend this company to anyone wanting uncompromisingly high standards of work in the design field."

"Gary and his team translated the many different ideas and aspirations in my head about how I wanted my business to show up into something tangible, cohesive and authentic. They gave me options to choose from and were patient with me as I explored what worked and what did not work.

I appreciate that the team are clear on their strengths and will collaborate with other professionals where necessary to deliver a full and quality solution."

"We first met Gary from Design Capital in December 2015, and have been a client of theirs ever since. We initially made contact with Gary to assist with corporate rebranding - a new logo, corporate stationary and a new website. We were very happy with the work Design Capital did for us and have since continually used their services for social media marketing, print media, shopfront signage design and whatever creative needs we have.

Gary and his team are very professional, efficient, and very knowledgeable with a good creative eye and interesting marketing ideas. We have a great working relationship with Design Capital and will highly recommend Gary and his team."

"We have been using Design Capital for our Website design, rebranding and design of our new logo and stationery. We have always been completely satisfied with their performance and services rendered. They do an excellent job, are punctual and offer a high standard of work."

"Gary has worked on several of our business units over the past 12 years. Our business includes Rolls-Royce, Aston Martin, McLaren, Bluespec, Renew-it Group, First Group and Auction Nation. Gary is a master designer with an aptitude for business needs, including; strategic insight, speed to market and sales methodologies. He has over the years been instrumental in the concept, creation and development of our group brand standards and I highly regards his design ability."
